Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd., a Canada-headquartered aerospace company, will invest $1 million to establish its U.S. headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, according to the Georgia governor's office. The company, which plans to create 20 new jobs over the next three years, produces in-flight monitoring systems; the Georgia facility will target commercial and defense applications for its STAR-ISMS product. "Georgia is ideally situated to help us market STAR-ISMS to our U.S., Central, and South American markets, which are easily accessible through Hartsfield Atlanta Airport," says Viraf Kapadia, Star Navigation's chair and CEO. "I look forward to building on the great relationship we've established with the Georgia business community as our company continues to build its presence here."
