The cultures of Jotron and MEP are very similar, especially in our customer-centric approach and strong focus on quality in everything we do. The combined engineering strengths will lead to even better product propositions for Air Traffic and Maritime Traffic Controllers, helping to make every journey safer.”
The integration of MEP’s advanced technology and expertise aligns perfectly with Jotron’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art communication solutions.
“We are excited about the acquisition of MEP, which complements our existing portfolio and enables Jotron to deliver a more comprehensive suite of products and services, enhancing safety and operational efficiency for ATC & Maritime operators worldwide” said Merete Berdal, Managing Director of Jotron AS. “MEP’s reputation for quality and innovation aligns with our values, and we believe that together we can offer the best solutions to our customers. Jotron remains committed to its mission of advancing communication technology in challenging environments, and this acquisition represents a significant step towards achieving that goal”.
Following the integration, both companies will collaborate closely to ensure a seamless transition for customers, partners and employees.
