SatService welcomes Michael Ulbricht's service as Senior Consultant following exit from leadership
The year 2021 is a very special one. Not only for SatService GmbH, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, but for the whole industry, indeed for the whole world. We are happy that all our employees and their families have remained healthy so far and that SatService continues to operate successful and stable in the market despite the pandemic.

But another important event is casting its shadow ahead: the founder and managing director Michael Ulbricht is leaving the command bridge of SatService on 1st June of 2021. This was already planned in 2019, when he brought the second managing director Wilfried Megger on board and sold his SatService company shares to Calian Group Ltd.
We all look back on our joint successes with joy, pride and gratitude. Michael Ulbricht founded the company, built it up and made it into what it is today: an innovative and reliable partner for all users and providers of professional ground-based satellite communication.
“Michael Ulbricht has been an excellent leader for his staff, a steadfast partner in business and wonderful ambassador for SatService and Calian,” said Patrick Thera, President Advanced Technologies, Calian. “We wish him all the best and are grateful for his continued support as he changes his focus to help us with strategic initiatives. Since acquiring SatService in April 2019, their organization has thrived on the leadership of Michael and Wilfried and we have had opportunities to combine our satellite communications capabilities for even further growth. This is just the beginning of a new era for our combined organization under Calian.”
And we are all the more grateful to be able to welcome Mr Ulbricht to our ranks after his active time as Managing Director. As a senior consultant, he will continue to serve the company, the partners and the management as an important and competent contact person with all his knowledge and experience. We are looking forward to continuing our successful cooperation.
