But the CEOs who make history in downturns aren’t the ones with the deepest cuts
In a significant development within the satellite communications industry, Luxembourg-based SES has agreed to acquire its competitor, Intelsat, for $3.1 billion. This transformative transaction will create a major European player in the satellite market upon regulatory approval.
The acquisition, unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies, signifies a strategic move to consolidate resources and expand capabilities. The combined entity will boast a robust multi-orbit space network, encompassing a wider spectrum portfolio and enhanced global ground infrastructure. This fortified presence is expected to bolster the company’s go-to-market strategies and managed service solutions, ultimately leading to a more comprehensive offering for its clientele.
Furthermore, the merger presents significant opportunities for innovation. By pooling the talent and expertise of both organizations, the combined entity will possess greater resources to invest in cutting-edge technologies and propel the industry forward. This enhanced capacity for innovation is crucial in the face of an increasingly competitive landscape, particularly with the emergence of low-earth orbit (LEO) constellations.
While the finalization of the acquisition is subject to regulatory clearances and customary closing procedures, it is anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2025. The combined company will maintain its headquarters in Luxembourg, the current home of SES. Still, it will also retain a substantial presence in Washington, D.C., where Intelsat is currently based. This strategic decision underlines the commitment to leverage the strengths and expertise of both entities while ensuring a smooth integration process.
