Asian satellite company expands in South Africa

Asian Broadcast Satellite has expanded its global presence in Johannesburg, South Africa, and formed a new sales liaison office to support its growing business in the continent.

The new office will house the sales and technical members of ABS’s Africa team, which will work alongside the regional Middle East office based in Dubai.  ABS Africa will be responsible for business development, local sales liaison services and customer support throughout this region.

ABS CEO Tom Choi said: “Expanding our presence in Africa enables us to develop closer relationships with our customers and engineering teams, ensuring we deliver faster local service and support in helping customers to optimize their growth and successes.

“With the launch of the ABS-3A satellite at the end of this year or early 2015, we will provide additional capacity to serve this dynamic growing market.”
