Serving as a gateway to the region, Patton’s CEE operation provides technical training along with regional sales and customer support in several of the region’s local languages. For Patton customers and partners in the region, the Budapest facility enables expedited delivery of highly-demanded Patton products to all CEE locations with shorter lead times and lower freight costs. “Central and Eastern Europe is the right place to be,” said Martin Svozil, President and CEO of Patton Hungary. “Turkey and Poland are the biggest economies in the region. These markets demonstrate a high demand for VoIP technology products to enable Unified-Communications and SIP-telephony implementations.” Poland’s high-income economy is one of the fastest growing within the European Union, achieving the highest GDP growth in the EU from 2008 to 2011.
