Who we are: the core of the company

Temasa name has its origins on 1986; when Telefónica de España created a company named as such, to take responsibility of the extensive submarine cable network Telefonica had those days, reaching an important prestige and recognition. Temasa was acquired on 1999 by Tyco International (further Tyco Electronics – SubCom and changed name to Tyco Marine).
Temasa’s management team is composed by Ignacio Ugalde as the Founder Partner and Javier de la Cruz as Senior Partner (both Telefónica and TE SubCom ex-employees, each one with more than 40 years of experience in the telecom industry and particularly in submarine cables).
