Conax strenghtens its focus on the German market with subsidiary in Germany and new Managing Director

Germany is one of Conax's focus areas, and during the past years, Conax has successfully operated a sales office in Berlin. By transforming the sales office into an independent legal entity, Conax is determined to further expand its market presence in the field of CA-systems.

Market-dominating TV-companies prepare encryption of their programs and new pay TV content will emerge", says Managing Director Michael Schacht. "Conax CA systems protect content for cable operators and content providers. Conax offers scalable systems build on a strong technology platform, excellent track record and long experience. The foundation of Conax GmbH allows us to develop tailor made local services. As a well-known international supplier of CA-systems, Conax would like to participate and be a driving force in the German market development. We rely on good cooperation with existing partners, and we are working hard to reach out to new clients, Mr. Schacht continues.
