On July 1st, 2006, GÖPEL
electronic opened a subsidiary in the United Kingdom. This is another decisive step in establishing
Extended Boundary Scan Solutions in one of the most important European
markets.
Karl
Miles has been appointed as Sales Manager of GOEPEL electronics Ltd.
His prior experience as FAE with XJTAG and 8 years as a hardware
engineer with BAE Systems and Nortel Networks brings excellent
technical knowledge to the role. The new office is located in the
strategically important Cambridge technology region
(Cottenham/Cambridgeshire), with excellent availability of outstanding
skilled labour for establishing an additional JTAG/Boundary Scan
application centre.
“Technologically, the UK market is one of
the most demanding in Europe and therefore highly interesting for our
new software and hardware platform solutions SCANFLEX and
SYSTEM CASCON™”, explained Thomas Wenzel,
co-founder and managing
director of GÖPEL electronic’s Boundary Scan
division. “By this
strategically important expansion, we are now in an outstanding
position to meet the increasing demands for Extended Boundary Scan
applications with our highly flexible reconfigurable systems in
connection with the excellent local customer support that Karl can
provide.”
Karl Miles adds: “Working for GOEPEL
electronic
offers the best opportunity to meet the growing UK market with
JTAG/Boundary Scan products. GÖPEL electronic’s
scalable solution
allows me to address a wide range of customers, from prototypes to mass
production, with a well planned roadmap for the future.”
The new
subsidiary will be responsible not only for the UK but also the Irish
JTAG/Boundary Scan market. The successful cooperation with
GÖPEL
electronic’s present distributors Cimbian Ltd and Accelonix
Ltd will be
continued on all respective markets and project basis.
