SINGAPORE, May 17 (UPI) -- Danish defense and security company Terma has opened an office in Singapore as it expands its radar business in Asia.
The new office, it said, is a result of a "strong surge" of interest and orders from Asian customers following the opening of its initial Asia office in 2007.
"Expanding the office in Singapore means we can support our growing customer base even closer across our business domains," said Jesper Tolstrup, director for Terma Singapore Pte. Ltd. "We have been in Singapore for several years but, by opening this new facility, we can offer an even better support to our key customers in the region."
Terma is a leading supplier of coastal and maritime surveillance radars and has more than 1,500 systems in operation around the world. Among its customers are the Australian navy, British navy, U.S Coast Guard, Indonesian navy and South Korea.
The company's advanced aircraft self-protection systems are in operation with multiple air forces on more than 25 different platforms and more than 2,000 aircraft around the world.
"Terma holds a strong position and we are focused on strengthening our international setup to support our customers in the region," said Terma Corporate Vice President, Customer and Markets Jorn Henrik Levy Rasmussen. "For Terma, the customers are always our highest priority and we look forward to expanding existing relationships and partnerships while building new ones."
