Simufact Engineering has founded subsidiary in India

With its software solutions, Simufact primarily aims at metalworking and -processing companies, among these the automotive and aerospace industry, but also at plant and mechanical engineering companies and sector-related suppliers. This software simulates forming, welding and mechanical joining processes and supports companies to design and optimize their production processes quicker. By virtual testing, companies save valuable production resources and simultaneously reduce the time needed to release innovative production processes for serial production. In this area Simufact ranks among the leading companies.

For several years, Simufact has been successfully operating on the Indian market. In close cooperation with its reseller partner Partner Kadkraft Systems Pvt. Ltd., based in the north-western city of Chandigarh, Simufact has already been able to acquire a number of renowned Indian customers for its software applications. The customer base includes, among others, L&T Special steels and heavy forgings, Shivam Autotech and Ramsays Corporation.

“The metalworking industry in India expands very dynamically”, says Michael Wohlmuth, Managing Director and CEO of simufact engineering gmbh. “This is why the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association anticipates double-digit growth rates in the next years, mostly by the benefits of the booming automotive industry in India. In these premises, we will continue to expand our activities in India beyond the foundation of an own subsidiary.”

Gabriel Mc Bain, Director of Simufact India, adds: “The primary task of Simufact India is currently to offer our customers a comprehensive technical service; we do not only help to introduce our software on-site, we also provide engineering support and train the users far beyond the application of our software products in questions of production technology. Our reseller partner Kadkraft will further cooperate with us in Indian sales activities.”
