This builds on Newtec\u2019s historic technology leadership strategy combined with the highest quality and reliability production standards. <\/p>\n \u201cOur increasing number of customers both inside and outside of the Satcom industry confirms that our manufacturing site is already extremely effective,\u201d said Danny De Smet, who is responsible for business development at Newtec\u2019s Manufacturing Competence Center. \u201cThis is without a doubt the result of our continuous improvement culture and competence building and this investment will further strengthen that.
