Burnaby, BC, Canada – OSI Maritime Systems (OSI) is proud to announce the official opening of its newest office, in Canberra, Australia. Conveniently located in the suburb of Fyshwick, the Canberra office will accommodate OSI’s business development, technical, service, and training staff that will be dedicated to the development of the company’s Asia Pacific business. The opening is part of OSI’s long-term commitment to its strategic focus on the Asia Pacific Region – aligning closely with the objectives of the Australian Defence White Paper.
