Director’s Successful Mission to Brazil - November 2011
Novella Director Cecilia da Costa returned at the weekend from a mission to Brazil, where she engaged in discussions with several potential customers.
Novella had been asked to supply an example of the renowned Novella satellite tracking receiver to a large manufacturer of satellite antennas in Brazil, for a physical evaluation of its performance. They were particularly interested in the unit’s efficiency in tracking inclined orbit satellites – a difficult challenge in which Novella equipment excels. Mrs da Costa delivered a short presentation about Novella products when she handed over the unit for testing.
During a visit to one of South America’s major satellite operators, Mrs da Costa was pleased to be invited by the Chief Technical Officer to give a presentation during her forthcoming attendance at the convention of SSPi (Society of Satellite Professionals International) in Rio de Janeiro. Despite the very short notice she was able to produce an informative presentation in Portuguese for an audience of 200 delegates.

Chairman and CEO Dr Ventura Rufino, Sales Director Cecilia da Costa and Engineer Lijuan Zhou (a Mandarin speaker) from Novella SatComs Limited represented the Company at the China Satellite Conference and Exhibition in Beijing on 26 to 28 October 2011.
Within days of their return new orders from the Company’s agent in China, worth £250,000 were confirmed.
Whilst the Novella deputation was in China, Engineers from the Beijing Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Institute paid a visit to Novella’s factory at Kerry House in Horsforth, where they had technical discussions with Novella Engineers Bill Dransfield and Dr Chinhee Lee (also a Mandarin speaker) and were able to meet other members of staff and non-executive directors Chris Maslen and Colin Glass.
Novella has been exporting to China for 7 years. In 2005 a delegation from the Chinese Academy of Space Technology asked for the opportunity to visit the Company because they had seen examples ofNovella products and were impressed by their operational quality and their unrivalled reputation for reliability. This visit resulted in orders from China and in recent years China has accounted for about 30% of sales with 2011 being the best year so far.
