National Instruments Moves Australian Headquarters to Sydney

National Instruments, a leader in virtual instrumentation, recently announced plans to relocate their Australian headquarters from its present location in Melbourne to new offices in Sydney.

The move, scheduled for completion by February 2003, helps NI Australia meet the needs of its growing customer base in the New South Wales region.

"We opened the Australia branch office in 1991 to better serve our Australian customers through frequent, direct contact, and we have provided that first-class support throughout the years," said Victor Mieres, Asia-Pacific Sales Director. "Our move to this new location in Sydney reflects National Instruments continued growth and long-term investment in our operations in Australia, New Zealand, and around the world."

While NI Australia will continue to operate a sales office in Melbourne, it is also optimizing operations in a larger office in Sydney, increasing National Instruments presence and commitment to the growing economy in the New South Wales region. The office provides many new benefits to NI customers in the Sydney area including a convenient technical support and repair center and the largest NI training center in Australia.

In addition to the move, the Australian office has appointed a new branch manager, Jeremy Carter. An eight-year veteran of NI Australia, Carter was previously an area sales manager for the region.
