Blom awarded contract in Italy through Telaer STA

04 January 2010, 4:11pm

Blom CGR, Blom’s subsidiary in Italy, has formed a new consortium, Telaer STA, with two daughter companies of the Finmeccanica Group, E-Geos and Galileo Avionica, for the purpose of providing geospatial and airborne geo referenced data and services to the Italian Governmental Agency (AGEA).

Telaer STA has now been awarded a EURO 15 million contract for a survey related to the provision of remote sensing services, and any other new and additional services for spatial information, required by AGEA, both to support the mission of the national agriculture as well as the regional forestry in Italy. The duration of the contract is three years.

“This exiting contract award has been achieved mainly thanks to the fact that the companies which make up the consortium have extensive experience and unique expertise, giving the consortium a leadership position both in the domestic Italian and the European market within services for aerial and satellite remote sensing platforms”, says Giovanni Banchini, Chairman and Managing Director Blom CGR.

Both Blom and E-Geos have been suppliers of services to the Ministry of Agriculture and AGEA for services in remote sensing in various projects for over twenty years.
