On the closing day of SmallSat Europe in Amsterdam, Torsten Kriening sits down with Remco Timmermans, Chief Marketing Officer of Anywaves, and one of the most well-known communicators in the European space industry.
This is a special moment. Anywaves is officially launching its new corporate identity at SmallSat Europe following the merger between Anywaves (Toulouse, France) and Emtronix (Luxembourg). Announced last January at the European Space Conference in Brussels, the merger is now fully realized with a fresh brand and a powerful new slogan: “Space Unmuted.”
Remco explains why this merger matters. Antennas don’t work without electronics. Electronics in space don’t work without antennas. By bringing together 10 years of antenna expertise from Toulouse with 25 years of space electronics experience from Luxembourg, Anywaves becomes what it calls a “radio frequency powerhouse”- a true merger of equals moving higher up the value chain to deliver complete payloads to customers.
The conversation reveals concrete signs of growth. Anywaves has acquired 1,200 square meters of additional floor space at its Luxembourg site, signaling a major push toward industrialization. The Toulouse facility has just delivered its 2,000th antenna, demonstrating the kind of high-volume, consistent-quality production that constellation customers demand. Now that industrialization expertise is being translated to electronics too.
The company is also expanding internationally. With three people already in Austin, Texas. Anywaves operates two US entities, Anywaves USA for commercial business and Anywaves Federal for US government sales. As Remco puts it with characteristic Dutch confidence: “We are now really ready to conquer the world.”
For anyone curious about how European space companies are scaling, productizing, and competing globally- this conversation offers a candid view into a merger that’s reshaping the European RF landscape.nternationally.
