Thales activities in the United States include important work in each of the company’s core, global markets – aerospace, space, defense and security. As a partner and supplier to industry and government, and as a joint venture partner alongside other leading global companies, Thales’s commitment to the U.S. market will continue to grow in the coming years.
Our continued success in the States will be sustained by the Thales Group’s worldwide commitment to a multi-domestic strategy, which essentially promotes on-the-ground resourcing of our businesses in close proximity to the customer. Our company recognizes that, even in a globalized economy, an “all business is local” approach to customer relationships can make all the difference.
In each of our fifteen primary U.S. locations, Thales employees and employees of joint venture companies such as ThalesRaytheonSystems benefit from another global Thales commitment – innovation. From the battlefields where U.S. soldiers, sailors and airmen work to protect America, to Hollywood, where Thales was again honored in 2008 with an Academy Award for its lens technology, the benefits of Thales’s culture of innovation are found.
There’s one final, all-important ingredient to Thales past and future success in the U.S. – our people. As the U.S. country director for Thales in the States, I’m very proud to say that the capabilities, professionalism and commitment to exceeding customer expectations among our people are second to none worldwide.
