Satmex will now operate under the Eutelsat brand

Eutelsat Americas, as part of a global satellite group, will enable a broad portfolio of video, data, telecommunications and broadband customers to benefit from Eutelsat's global presence, services, technologies and know-how.

The satellite operator Satmex, which joined the Eutelsat group last January, will now operate as Eutelsat Americas. With 180 industry experts, headquarters in Mexico City and satellite control facilities in Hermosillo and Mexico City, it will be a key platform for growth in the region.

Eutelsat Americas, as part of a global satellite group, will enable a broad portfolio of video, data, telecommunications and broadband customers to benefit from Eutelsat's global presence, services, technologies and know-how, as well as have access to its existing and future satellites.

Eutelsat Americas complements the long-standing commercial activities of Eutelsat America, a company based in Washington D.C., which was established 10 years ago and has notably built a solid reputation and experience in government affairs.

Michel de Rosen, Chairman and CEO of Eutelsat, highlighted that "the brand we are announcing today reflects Eutelsat's purpose to use its name consistently across all markets and supports our efforts to create a consistent global presence. As our operations continue to grow and our reach expands, we want our customers, employees and the industry to have a clear understanding of what Eutelsat offers, how we work and what we stand for. Our goal, under the global Eutelsat brand, is to combine the experience and ambition of our offices around the world to offer our clients a high-value, industry-leading experience.”

Patricio Northland, CEO of Eutelsat Americas, added that "this is an important step for the Satmex team. It supports the shared objectives with Eutelsat of pursuing a single strategy as one company. Joining Eutelsat has resized the scale of what we can offer our customers, in and beyond our historical footprint and has opened access to new markets and new growth regions. Continuing our business under the Eutelsat brand reflects this reach. broader and it is a big step forward.”

Eutelsat Americas will continue operations as a wholly owned subsidiary of Eutelsat, with teams working alongside all Eutelsat employees around the world. The names of Satmex satellites, both those currently in orbit and future ones, will also align with the Eutelsat name.
