Space, the leading space equipment supplier of Scandinavia,
strengthened its ties with US space industry and inaugurated a second
office on the US market, close to space industry customers and
partners in the Los Angeles area, on 19 September.
Mr Bengt Mörtberg, President of Saab Ericsson Space: “A major
reason for opening a second office in USA is to be able to provide
better support to our customers within the space industry for launch
vehicles and satellites, but also to create an awareness of our
products and product development. Since we now get closer to our
customers it will make us able to coordinate trends and new business
opportunities. We will also be able to strengthen our cooperation with
our american subcontractors,” continues Bengt Mörtberg.
Michael E. Miller has been appointed general manager of both the
L.A Office and the Washington DC Office. Michael will be responsible
for the overall management operations including new business
development, customer and partner relations, product engineering,
