Northern Telecom gets Polish job for $120 million

Article Abstract:

Northern Telecom Ltd is awarded a $120 million contract for telephone equipment from Polmaik Ltd, which is a telecommunications company in Poland. This is Northern Telecom's largest contract in Eastern Europe, which analysts say is an area where much competition can be expected among companies such as Northern Telecom and AT&T. To begin, Northern plans to ship nine DMS-10 switches, worth $5 million, to Polmaik before the end of 1991. According to a Northern Telecom spokesman, financing for its arrangements in Poland has been facilitated by US credit programs. Northern also plans a manufacturing facility in Poland, to build DMS computerized switches, by 1992.
