Eurotech Sets Sights on Transportation Industry, Exhibits at APTA Expo 2008
Eurotech Demonstrates Internet Connectivity, Passenger Counter, and Mobile Router Products at Transportation Industry's Largest Expo
Columbia, MD, October 2, 2008 – Eurotech, a leading provider of application-ready embedded and packaged computer systems for low power and high performance applications, today announces a new strategic focus on the transportation industry. As part of the transition, Eurotech assumes responsibility for the transportation market from its sister subsidiary, Parvus, based in Salt Lake City, UT, which maintains its focus on its core markets, defense and homeland security. The transition allows Eurotech to place a strategic focus on the transportation market to create and deliver highly capable systems for progressive transportation companies to encourage ridership and deliver a loyalty-building rider experience.
"With this transition of the transportation market products and responsibility from Parvus to Eurotech, both organizations will make the more cost-effective use of our resources to serve important and growing markets," explains Greg Nicoloso, CEO of Eurotech. "Eurotech, with many existing transportation customers, now sharpens our focus on transportation, where we will leverage our existing relationships with transportation authorities, dealers, and installers to expand this segment and meet the needs of forward-thinking agencies and suppliers."
"Both Parvus and Eurotech have a strong customer list in the transportation industry, and we are looking forward to Eurotech presenting innovative product offerings to that growing list," says Les Goodman, President of Parvus. "As Eurotech hones in on transportation, Parvus continues to succeed in the defense and homeland security industries with a spotlight on the unique opportunities in these areas."
