Mr Monteverde joins the company from AFT Microwave where he was responsible for sales and business development of microwave components for space, defence, medical, sensor, and industrial applications.

"We are pleased to welcome Antonio Monteverde to Hiltron," said Managing Director Jan Molter. "He has exactly the mix of business and technical experience required for this position plus a good understanding of project management from the customer side which is always an asset for senior staff working in manufacturing and systems integration."

"Hiltron's modular approach to software and hardware development forms the basis of a cohesive product range which has sold successfully in the broadcast, telecommunications, aerospace, marine and scientific markets. My role will be to build on that success, aided by the first-class development, production and system-support facilities available at Hiltron's headquarters in Backnang."
