Comprehensive IT Services
Friday July 25, 5:00 pm ET
DALLAS, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Jul 25, 2008 -- NewMarket Technology,
Inc. (OTC BB:NMKT.OB - News) today announced a three-year, $10.5
million managed services contract with WBA (Wireless Broadband Access)
Telecommunications, S.A. of Bogota, Colombia. This is NewMarket's
first contract in Colombia. Not including this recent contract,
NewMarket has approximately $20 million in annual revenue in Latin
America through its operations in Brazil, Chile and Venezuela.
NewMarket globally reported $93.1 million in profitable revenue in
2007 across all Company operations.
Over the next three years, NewMarket will provide a wide variety of
IT Managed Services to WBA. The two companies are also forming plans
to co-develop additional business. The companies are currently
exploring opportunities to combine WBA's regional telecommunications
experience with NewMarket's global emerging technology experience to
win new contracts in the region.
Bruce Noller, President of NewMarket Managed Services, stated, "We
are pleased with both the growth of our managed services as well as
our expansion regionally in Latin America. WBA is a well-established
broadband provider in Colombia, having implemented one of the first
municipal wireless projects in the country for the city of Castilla La
Nueva, Meta. We look forward to providing them with the IT services
they require to grow their service offering in the area. We are
excited about partnering with WBA because, like NewMarket, they are an
entrepreneurial company focused on delivering next generation
technologies that provide their clients a competitive edge, which is
essential in today's IT marketplace."
WBA's President, Francisco Teran, stated, "We chose NewMarket
because of their strong emerging technology experience combined with
their Latin American presence. With NewMarket's services, we plan to
diversify our own service portfolio and breadth to implement much
larger projects and to become a leading provider of wireless broadband
and related services not only in Colombia, but throughout Latin
America as well."
