| Mizar, one of the world's leading DSP solutions providers has appointed Peter Stanforth as director European business development. Stanforth, who will head-up UK-based Mizar International, has been tasked with establishing the company and its leading-edge DSP VMEbus-based products in Europe and the Middle East.
Stanforth brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge of the European Electronics industry. Previously director of Livingston UK's microwave and communications group, Stanforth spent 8 years with Racal Instruments as general sales manager and 10 years with Philips as business unit manager for the T&M group in the UK.
"With a turnover in excess of $11m, Mizar is very well established and respected in the US," said Stanforth. "In Europe Mizar is relatively unknown. It is my job to change all that and ensure that the company becomes both well known and well positioned to make the most of the opportunities that the emerging European market is creating."
"As more and more European defence contractors adopt the COTS (cost-effective off-the-shelf) initiative and more sophisticated telecoms applications emerge, then we shall see the market in Europe begin to really take-off. Mizar is positioning itself to take full benefit of the expected market growth. If, in three years from now, we are achieving the level of turnover that Mizar has in the States today then I shall be a very happy man indeed," said Stanforth.
Editors note: Mizar specialises in the development of multiprocessor digital signal processing subsystems for real-time image and signal processing. Through a licensing agreement with the Defense Systems and Electronics Group of Texas Instruments, it has developed a wide range of board-level products based on TI's successful C40, C80 and new C6201 families of programmable DSPs.
