Burgess Hill, West Sussex, UK (07th August 2007) – Technetix Group Ltd (“Technetix”), the pan-European broadband engineering and supply chain solutions provider is pleased to announce the opening of its new branch in Germany, making it the twelfth country worldwide where the company has local presence. This move comes just two weeks after Technetix announced its new division Technetix Americas, and it continues the company´s expansion plans to provide the highest level of service to clients worldwide.

The new facilities will be lead by Gerhard Gilke, who brings more than 25 years of experience in international marketing and sales management roles in the telecommunications industry, having worked for companies such as Proxiliant, Multipower, and Alpha Technologies Europe, and most recently with Dresel in Germany.

”I’ve followed the progress of Technetix over the last 17 years, growing from a small components supplier to a full service value added distributor and manufacturer of the latest generation of sophisticated communication equipment. The level of expertise and the competence Technetix has accumulated during this time is unmatched in the European cable industry. The decision to enter Germany, Europe’s largest Cable market, was long overdue. Technetix offer a breadth of products and services that match the technologies required to accelerate the current network upgrades all over Germany. I’m proud to be part of this team of cable experts and to see Technetix becoming the shooting star in the German cable market.”

The German cable market is one of the biggest in Europe, with 26 million households connected to cable networks and a significant number to have triple-play enabled over the next three years.

Paul Broadhurst, CEO of Technetix, commented “Technetix is consistently at the forefront of innovation for both for products and services. I am confident that our skills, experience, commitment to client service and local presence will enable us to assist German broadband operators to make the most of the new exciting developments the industry is seeing.”
