Fortel Eclipses 2002 Sales Projections

Fortel DTV has exceeded 2002 sales goals for its Integrity line of broadcast A/D converters and synchronizers, representing a $1.6 million increase from 2001 when the product debuted. Fortel produces video signal processing technology for DTV and production industries.

Fortel also started several new programs, including a sales channel initiative to increase channel penetration. Kent Cawthorne, a former Grass Valley exec, will head up the effort. He joined Fortel in 2002 as director of sales.
