The new subsidiary will be headed by Pierre Duquesne, who has been in charge of distributing Spot Image products and services in Brazil since 2004. Spot Image Brasil thus becomes the company’s sixth subsidiary, joining Spot Imaging Services (Australia), Beijing Spot Image (China), Spot Image Corporation (United States), Tokyo Spot Image (Japan) and Spot Asia (Singapore). Spot Image Brasil will work closely with the established network of distributors in the country to be closer to users.
Spot Image is a world-leading supplier of geospatial products and services derived from satellite imagery. The new subsidiary will be working with Spot Image’s partners in Brazil: Engemap, Gaiasat, Hiparc and Tecnomapas.
As the commercial operator of the SPOT satellites and a supplier of imagery from a range of other optical and radar Earth-imaging satellites, Spot Image has perfected the ability to harness space- and ground-based systems to meet users’ needs. Spot Image has also built up a global network of partners to bring geoinformation products and services to public -and private-sector decision-makers worldwide.
Spot Image is 81% owned by EADS Astrium subsidiary Astrium Services, of which it forms the Earth Observation division with Infoterra.
