About the Company
Our client is a leading producer of VHF and UHF radios, providing the vital link between the ground and the air for passenger, freight, and military aircraft. For over 50 years, they have worked with customers all over the globe to make air travel safer. The reasons behind their success are simple and won't change: they work harder for the customer than the rest, take time to truly know their needs, create the right product for them, train them how to use it, ensure every detail is right before deployment, and provide the best care and service for all of their products as long as they are still used.
At our client’s company, they stay the best by looking to the future – to new requirements and new possibilities. A radio remains a radio, but they never stop thinking about how they can improve it, how they make it, and how it can offer more to their customers.
