<strong>Simufact</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> has founded subsidiary in India<br />
Hamburg based software company intensifies its involvement in the Indian market<br />
Hamburg, Germany, February 21, 2013 – The Hamburg based software company <strong>Simufact</strong><br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> has founded the Indian subsidiary <strong>Simufact</strong> India Private Limited. Dr. Gabriel<br />
Mc Bain (38) has been appointed as Director of <strong>Simufact</strong> India. The registered office of the<br />
new company is the city of Bangalore, in which leading complement suppliers and<br />
aerospace companies are based.<br />
With its software solutions, <strong>Simufact</strong> primarily aims at metalworking and -processing<br />
companies, among these the automotive and aerospace industry, but also at plant and<br />
mechanical engineering companies and sector-related suppliers. This software simulates<br />
forming, welding and mechanical forming processes and supports companies to design and<br />
optimize their production processes quicker. By virtual testing, companies save valuable<br />
production resources and simultaneously reduce the time needed to release innovative<br />
production processes for serial production. In this area <strong>Simufact</strong> ranks among the leading<br />
companies.<br />
For several years, <strong>Simufact</strong> has been successfully operating on the Indian market. In close<br />
cooperation with its reseller partner Partner Kadkraft Systems Pvt. Ltd., based in the northwestern<br />
city of Chandigarh, <strong>Simufact</strong> has already been able to acquire a number of<br />
renowned Indian customers for its software applications. The customer base includes,<br />
among others, L&T Special steels and heavy forgings, Shivam Autotech and Ramsays<br />
Corporation<br />
“The metalworking industry in India expands very dynamically”, says Michael Wohlmuth,<br />
Managing Director and CEO of simufact engineering gmbh. “This is why the Indian Machine<br />
Tool Manufacturers’ Association anticipates double-digit growth rates in the next years,<br />
mostly by the benefits of the booming automotive industry in India. In these premises, we will<br />
continue to expand our activities in India beyond the foundation of an own subsidiary.”<br />
Gabriel Mc Bain, Director of <strong>Simufact</strong> India, adds: “The primary task of <strong>Simufact</strong> India is<br />
currently to offer our customers a comprehensive technical service; we do not only help to<br />
introduce our software on-site, we also provide engineering support and train the users far<br />
beyond the application of our software products in questions of production technology. Our<br />
reseller partner Kadkraft will further cooperate with us in Indian sales activities.”<br />
