Telespazio has acquired full control of
Aurensis SL, a Spanish company specialised
in technologies for territorial applications
and Earth observation services, aerial and
satellite.
With this acquisition, Telespazio continues its international expansion and consolidation of its position as European leader in the Earth observation sector.
Aurensis, together with German company GAF AG, acquired in 2003, represents for Telespazio a further step towards the development of an international distribution network of data and products for environmental monitoring and territorial control in a highly competitive market.

For the Finmeccanica group, this is the first direct investment in Spain, a fast-growing market where the government is pursuing a policy of strong support for space activities.
Aurensis manufactures, processes and markets territorial information (cartography, remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems / GIS), with offices in Barcelona (headquarters) and in Madrid. With around 150 employees and a turnover of EUR 8.4 million in 2007, the company boasts a portfolio of Spanish and international corporate and business clients.
