Clairfield advises SAAB on the divestment of QPS
SAAB divested the Dutch‐based company QPS (Quality Positioning Services), a provider of hydrographic software solutions for the global maritime industry.
The decision is in line with SAAB’s strategy to optimize its product portfolio and to increase focus on their five core areas: Aeronautics, Sensors, Command & Control, Advanced Weapon Systems and Underwater Systems.
QPS’ software tools are used for hydrographic data acquisition, data processing, 4D geospatial processing and analysis, precise marine navigation and the production of Electronic Navigation Charts (ENC).
The company serves a global, well known client base. QPS offers innovative, flexible and continuously improved products, developed by in-house development teams. The company has locations in the Netherlands, Canada, USA and UK and employs approximately 75 FTE.
