Orbital ATK (NYSE:OA), a global leader in aerospace and defense
technologies, announced today it has opened a regional office in
Singapore to serve existing and new customers in Asia. The office
is the third international location opened by Orbital ATK in the
past three months. The company is following a deliberate process of
increasing its availability to and direct engagement with customers
and industry partners.
“Each new Orbital ATK office outside the United States is
intended to support a proven track record of significant sales in
the region to support future growth by having a full-time presence
that our customers can rely on,” said Tim Shephard, Corporate Vice
President of International Business Development for Orbital ATK.
“Already, about 20% of the company’s sales are to international
customers and we are seeking further growth in these important
markets.”
Orbital ATK has provided military and commercial products and
services to customers in Asia for many years. Examples of business
activity include defense systems such as aircraft warning systems;
small-, medium- and large-caliber ammunition; fuzes, flares and
counter measures; and Bushmaster® cannons. The company has also
supplied space systems to regional customers, including commercial
communications satellites; Earth-observation and remote-sensing
spacecraft; space structures, components and pressure vessels;
launch services; and ground stations. The Singapore office will
enable closer and more in-depth support for all Orbital ATK
customers in the region.
“Orbital ATK has a heritage of serving the greater Asian market
and our new office allows us to provide focused support to our
valued partners in the region,” Shephard, added. “Over the past
five years, the military and commercial products and services we
provide in Asia have totaled roughly three quarters of a billion
dollars in new sales. This strong track record gives us confidence
that the resources we are dedicating in the region are a wise
investment in future growth. Our international footprint is rapidly
expanding and Singapore is an important and logical next step in
that process.”
The Orbital ATK office in Singapore will be led by Bill Rose,
Sr. Regional Director Asia Pacific. Orbital ATK’s international
activities have recently grown to include country offices and
permanent representation in England as well as both Saudi Arabia
and the United Arab Emirates.
