Norsat has selected Captain Marino Paladini as the company’s primary sales representative for these regions.

Amiee Chan, president and CEO of Norsat International, said: A fundamental component of our strategy is to drive growth through further penetration of the global satellite terminal market. Demand for portable satellite communications continues to grow around the world, and we believe there are significant opportunities in Southern Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa. A local presence is a key competitive advantage in successfully capitalizing on these opportunities. In addition, Captain Paladini has strong relationships with satellite services providers throughout these regions and has already put us in front of a number of qualified prospects.
