1. (SBU) Emboffs met with Mario Barbetti, General Manager
of Pansystem s.r.l., in Rome December 27. (Note: Reftel
lists the company's name as "Pansystems." Please note
correct company name is "Pansystem s.r.l.")
2. (SBU) Barbetti began by wondering why the USG was
reviewing one order (DTC case 050021339/JN1092-09),as it
was "only 50 pieces of metal," specifically, a metal ring
that attaches a cable to a plug connector. Barbetti was
"upset" at the delay in the order and asked why it had been
delayed.
3. (SBU) Econoff explained that Pansystem s.r.l. was
unknown to USG export control officials and that there was
concern that his company could be related to Pansystems of
North Korea. Barbetti underscored that his company was not
associated with North Korea and explained that Pansystem
s.r.l. was a distributor operating on the "national level"
(i.e., within Italy) and rarely ever exported materials for
resale. Barbetti then produced several transaction
receipts with Joslyn Sunbank Co LLC (Seller) and Alenia
Aeronautica SPA (Foreign End-user) confirming the delivery
of three orders cited in reftel.
4. (SBU) Background. Pansystem s.r.l. is a private
company with 25 employees. It is the official distributor
of Joslyn Sunbank Co LLC products within Italy and supplies
Italy's defense, space, and railway industries. Pansystem
s.r.l. counts among its clients Finmecanica and SELEX.
Barbetti also claimed that the company is the biggest
distributor of Tyco International products in Italy. In
post's assessment, Pansystem s.r.l. appears to be a
reliable company. Econoff and EconFSN toured the company's
facilities and spoke with several employees. Additionally,
the company is located in an outlaying residential area in
Rome and appeared secure, with surveillance cameras and an
access-controlled gate surrounding the property.
