Zuken announces that French CADSTAR distributor Novacad has achieved the highest European sales, winning Zuken’s European CADSTAR Distributor of the Year Award for 2013-14. CADSTAR is Zuken’s industry-leading desktop PCB design software.
Philippe Biran, Novacad Manager said: “We were successful this year in two very different markets. Entry level CADSTAR Lite offers full CADSTAR functionality at a lower cost for those working on designs with fewer than 2,000 pins. This is attractive for the many smaller companies we support. With CADSTAR Kynetic we have a high-functionality solution for high-speed designs.”
Jeroen Leinders, CADSTAR Worldwide Sales Manager said, “The Novacad team has achieved consistent results throughout the year, so this award is well-deserved. Novacad focuses on responsive, locally-based customer service and has strong technical resources. This explains why they have a high level of repeat business.”
Biran reports that in the past few years many companies are reducing their European operations and therefore cutting back on software renewal and maintenance. However, France is seeing a technology upsurge in the shape of many dynamic small and medium enterprises working on cutting-edge products in sectors such as medical, defense, space, and automotive.
