MDA combined complex robotics with control software to
develop the NASA space shuttle’s Canadarm. The company is
currently at work on Radarsat 2, an advanced observation satellite
providing high-resolution data that MDA will convert to valuable
information about the earth. Since 1988, Chubb has kept pace
with MDA as their business has taken them around and out
of this world. Leveraging its expertise in data collection and
distribution of land and property information, MDA has become
a significant supplier of information solutions to the real estate,
lending and property insurance sectors worldwide. “With the
company entering new businesses and new markets over the last
several years, our range of exposures has broadened significantly,”
says Hiten Makim, MDA Space Missions’ Vice Chairman, Finance
& Administration and CFO. “Chubb’s global capabilities have
allowed us to proceed with the certainty that those exposures
will be properly assessed and insured.”
