Goepel Electronic has opened a subsidiary in the UK, with Karl Miles as Sales Manager covering an area seen by the company as one of the most important markets in Europe.

Miles was formerly an FAE with XJTAG and spent 8 years as a hardware engineer with BAE Systems and Nortel Networks, equipping him with excellent technical knowledge for his new role.

The new office is located at Cottenham, in the strategically important Cambridge technology region, with excellent availability of outstanding skilled labour for establishing an additional JTAG/boundary scan application centre.

"Technologically, the UK market is one of the most demanding in Europe and therefore highly interesting for our new software and hardware platform solutions Scanflex and System Cascon", explained Thomas Wenzel, cofounder and Managing Director of Goepel Electronic's Boundary Scan Division.

"By this strategically important expansion, we are now in an outstanding position to meet the increasing demands for extended boundary scan applications with our highly flexible reconfigurable systems in connection with the excellent local customer support that Karl can provide".

Miles adds: "Working for Goepel Electronic offers the best opportunity to meet the growing UK market with JTAG/boundary scan products".

"Goepel Electronic's scalable solution allows me to address a wide range of customers, from prototypes to mass production, with a well planned roadmap for the future".

The new subsidiary will be responsible not only for the UK but also the Irish JTAG/boundary scan market.

The successful co-operation with Goepel Electronic's present distributors Cimbian UK and Accelonix will be continued on all respective markets and project basis.
