CAD/CAM/CAE specialist Vero Software has acquired NC machining firm Sescoi International, famous for its WorkNC 2D to 5-axis NC software.
Richard Smith, CEO of Vero Software, sees the acquisition as establishing his company as the "world's largest and number one CAM specialist", and points to a significantly enlarged development team and distribution channel.
"Across the enlarged group, the complementary products address the worldwide need for efficient and innovative CAD/CAM/CAE technology," asserts Smith.
"It is important to emphasise that we will continue to invest in the WorkNC product suite, and welcome the existing Sescoi partners and resellers into the Vero network," he continues.
"We will move forward together with the expertise, knowledge and resources necessary to deliver even higher levels of productivity to our customers."
"Since starting the company in 1987, Sescoi has become one of the world's key CAD/CAM providers with WorkNC," comments Sescoi founder Bruno Marko. "However, with Vero's global distribution, additional development resources and technology sharing concept, I am certain the products will advance at an even faster pace."
