TOKYO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

We would like to announce that KVH Co., Ltd., headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, has changed its company name to “Colt Technology Services Co., Ltd.” effective today.

Since Colt Group’s acquisition of KVH in December 2014, the two companies have been aligning their organisations to realise the benefits of the merger and deliver the best possible service to their customers. Now, as a combined entity, we have significantly greater scale to deliver a seamless service experience across Asia and into Europe. As we enter the next phase of integration with Colt, we have adopted the Colt brand across all KVH markets to reflect our new legal entity names and further unite the companies.
