Preactor has opened its first office in Spain, aimed at helping manufacturers across the country improve their efficiencies, by adopting advanced planning and scheduling software.
Based in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Preactor Europe's Spanish office will provide new local expertise, according to Raul Buiza, country manager for Preactor Europe in Spain and Portugal.
"The financial downturn continues to have a significant impact on Spanish businesses, which are therefore looking to maximise their return on investment in the fastest, slickest way possible," states del Vallès.
"More than ever, companies are recognising the benefits they can obtain by using Preactor to manage their production in a more agile and efficient way, even when demand varies from week to week," he adds.
Preactor's production planning and scheduling software is already in use with a range of manufacturers across Spain, including players such as Zedis, Argal, Tuboplast-Ctl, Azud and Takasago.
The Spanish office will support Preactor's network of business partners in Spain, who provide local, face-to-face support to more than 40 existing Preactor users.
