TROY, Mich., (March 25, 2008) – Altair Engineering, Inc., a leading global provider of technology and services that empower client innovation and decision-making, announced a new reseller agreement with Romanian-based PLM solution provider, CYBERNETICS Srl. The new agreement allows CYBERNETICS to sell the Altair HyperWorks computer-aided engineering (CAE) technology suite to Romania-based companies within the region’s growing advanced manufacturing industries including automotive, aerospace, consumer goods, plant & equipment design. In addition to Altair’s software solutions, CYBERNETICS will also provide local support and professional consulting services for Altair and its new and existing customers.
“Our main objective is to consolidate our leadership position in selling and implementing complete PLM solutions,” said Eugen Mihaila, CEO, CYBERNETICS Srl. “In order to do this, we have to take into account that Romania is an emergent market, attracting many investors particularly in the automotive industry. As such, we took the initiative to assess our existing software portfolio and technical expertise to ensure that Cybernetics is prepared to support the unique needs and requirements of these rapid growth market segments. After a thorough review of our portfolio and industry vertical needs, it was obvious that by adding HyperWorks we could enhance our product portfolio and level of client service. “
