Ray Summers, Protonex Director of Sales said, “Our recently announced EAR99 export classification for the SPM and VPM Power Managers paves the way for accelerated allied procurement of these mission critical devices. The enthusiastic reception we’ve received from allied partners has encouraged us to exhibit for the first time in the Middle East and Europe.”
