BOULDER, CO, September 23, 2005 -- Vexcel Corporation, internationally renowned for its remote sensing technologies and digital photogrammetric mapping products and services, recently celebrated 20 years of providing innovative products and services to the markets it serves.
Founded in 1985, principally by Austrian photogrammetrist Dr. Franz Leberl, Vexcel focused initially on photogrammetric technologies. Since 1992, Vexcel has grown under the leadership of President and CEO, Dr. John Curlander, expanding its products and service offerings into synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems and services, satellite ground systems, and data intelligence solutions.
Recent years have brought many changes including the opening of its Vexcel UK office (Newbury, Berkshire) and the acquisition of global companies Vexcel Imaging (Austria), Atlantis Scientific (Canada), now operating as Vexcel Canada, and most recently the Dutch remote sensing company, Synoptics, now operating as Vexcel Netherlands. The anniversary is punctuated by a year of successful product launches that include the OceanView(TM) maritime surveillance system; the CCDMap(TM) coherent change detection mapping system; EarthView(R) Matrix polarimetric SAR software; and the UltraMap(TM) Server digital archive, catalog and post-processing system for a fully digital mapping workflow using imagery from Vexcel's best selling digital aerial camera, the UltraCam(TM).
"These are exciting times for the company," said Curlander. "Substantial increases in sales and new products on the horizon are fueling high expectations for an even brighter future. Vexcel is today recognized as a company that can be relied upon to consistently produce innovative technologies and to be there in the future to support those solutions for its customers."
With a stable foundation of 20 years, exciting new advances in products and services, and an increased global expansion, Vexcel is on course to enjoy another 20 years of growth and prosperity.
