Syntech Technologies in Paignton (UK), announced today that it has been awarded a contract worth over $7m, for the co-development and manufacture of a new satellite-based asset tracking and security telematics system for Satamatics Ltd.

Satamatics, based in Tewkesbury (UK), is a leading global supplier of asset tracking and telematics systems, and operates its own worldwide communications network. This new contract, which covers the manufacture of Satamatics’ remote terminal equipment, follows on from Syntech’s existing contract regarding the antenna system for Satamatics current products.

The contract has been awarded following Syntech’s recent expansion of its manufacturing facility in Paignton, which now offers its customers world class, high speed, volume electronic manufacture and assembly. Syntech Technologies’ facility incorporates the latest technology for electronic manufacture, including X-ray and complex chip rework.
