Thales back on board for MAST

Thales’ VP marketing Defense Mission Systems, Guy Bonassi has confirmed that the World Top Ten defence contractor will "take more of a lead role” at future MASTs, starting with securing “Gold Plus sponsorship” at MAST Asia 2017 trade-show/conference, increased representation on the Technical Conference Committee, and assisting MAST organisers to select and evaluate prospective future venues for MAST and potentially other spin-off ‘niche’ events.

As with many of the exhibitors in next year’s event, Thales have long been present in Japan (45 years), and gained many customers and partners there, including past MAST Asia exhibitors such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corporation, and Hitachi.
