The initiative is part of the international expansion strategy of the Brazilian company, which has four other commercial offices abroad.
Padtec, a leading manufacturer of optical transport systems, announces the opening of another commercial office in Latin America. Located in Lima, Peru, it is the company’s fourth office in the region in addition to Brazil – the others are in Argentina, Chile and Colombia – and aims to expand Padtec’s presence in the region and facilitate customer sales and operations support of Andean and Central America.
“The new office further accelerates Padtec’s international expansion plan, since this region has a strong market in the area of optical transmission, driven mainly by the growing demand for broadband”, says Manuel Andrade, CEO of Padtec North America and Director of International Operations. “The opening of the office aims to ensure even closer proximity and facilitate service to our customers with installed bases in the country, in addition to leveraging our growth in a market that still has a lot of room to advance”, he adds.
“Padtec’s equipment is present in the networks of the most important telecommunications operators in Latin America”, says Carlos Raimar, CEO and Director of Investor Relations at the company. He recalls that, in total, more than 300,000 kilometers of networks have already been lit by Padtec throughout the Latin American region. “In addition, our presence extends to the global market through partnerships to offer DWDM solutions in Europe and Africa”, he adds. Headquartered in Campinas, in the interior of São Paulo, Padtec has yet another commercial office abroad, located in the United States. Recently, as part of its growth strategy in the international market, the company expanded the operation of its service unit to these bases outside of Brazil – which ranges from system planning to installation, operation and maintenance of networks. “The business dynamics of Latin American operators also demand services similar to those we offer in Brazil, aiming to guarantee more quality for their communication networks”, explains Raimar. “We turned demand into an opportunity for a business that we know and that works very well in Brazil”, he adds.
