New Telespazio Chief Eyes Avio as Part of Broad Strategic Review

摘要

The new chief executive of satellite services provider Telespazio said he is positioning the company to better compete with Astrium Services, and that ownership of Italy's Avio rocket builder would enhance his product portfolio. In a June 19 interview here at the Paris Air Show, Luigi Pasquali declined to say whether Rome-based Telespazio's parent company, Finmeccanica, would enter the bidding for Avio in competition with France's Safran/Snecma and with the EADS-owned Astrium Space Transportation company of France and Germany.
