Effective April 1, 2023, TTTech’s business entity TTTech Aerospace has implemented a new go-to-market organization, preparing to build the future of aerospace networking systems in the aviation and space markets. Interdisciplinary teams of experts will support customers across the whole product lifecycle, from development to product delivery and maintenance of delivered products.
“Our business has grown significantly over the past years, and we see further growth opportunities in both the space and aviation markets. With our new go-to-market teams, we will be able to work more closely with our customers, enhance our project execution capabilities and provide new, targeted offerings for each sector,” says Christian Fidi, General Manager, TTTech Aerospace.
The new organizational concept provides dedicated sales, product management, customer service, and customer project teams for the aviation and space verticals. Product development and engineering will work with both verticals to ensure compliance with the highest safety standards and knowledge transfer to deliver reliable solutions based on open standards and build more targeted products.
Customers will benefit from the speed and efficiency that a dedicated market-focused team provides.
