The Altium software is a compliment to the line of SolidWorks tools and solutions that FISHER/UNITECH currently carries and will help expand Altium's coverage in the US market.
"We are excited to add Altium products to our solutions matrix. Adding Altium Designer 2013 and Altium Vault Server to our product mix allows us to offer our customers a true concept to manufacture solution, which now includes the industry's best electronics design offering," said Charles Hess , chief executive officer of FISHER/UNITECH.

FISHER/UNITECH will make available the full Altium product line to the Midwest including: Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and Kentucky. This will encompass Altium Designer, a unified system design solution targeting FPGA, PCB and embedded systems designers and the Altium Vault Server, a powerful engineering content management solution.
Altium Designer is a unified solution that helps customers improve team collaboration, eliminate data movement bottlenecks and shorten time to revenue. The Altium solution includes ECAD/MCAD 3D PCB integration, instant FPGA prototyping, flexible design reuse and robust ECO handling – competitive requirements in today's systems-based design industry.
The Altium Vault Server helps bridge the worlds of design with fabrication, assembly and procurement and provides users with key benefits such as live links to supply chain information, shortened design cycles, traceability and collaboration.
