 ST.
LOUIS, MO, May 12, 2009 - Barry-Wehmiller International Resources (BWIR) has
announced the signing of a letter of understanding with think3 of Milan,
Italy, to transition and integrate think3’s Engineering Services Division
with BWIR’s operations in Chennai, India. Think3 is a leading provider of
engineering products and services for more than 30 years. The agreement will
allow current and future think3 customers to leverage BWIR’s broad service
offerings, offshore model and global footprint to enhance their competitive
market positions.
“Think3’s Engineering Services Division is a perfect complement to BWIR
on multiple fronts,” said Senthilkumar Deivasigamany, BWIR senior partner.
“The type of customers, the model of developing long-term annuity
relationships with dedicated teams, and the nature of the work are all a
strong fit, which we believe will prove mutually beneficial to our customers
as well as our engineering professionals. In addition, BWIR’s people-centric
leadership culture will provide a continuity of professional development
opportunities for the think3 professionals that join BWIR in Chennai.”
BWIR has more than a decade of experience offering tool-agnostic
engineering and product lifecycle management implementation services to
global manufacturing companies. The additional expertise that BWIR will
acquire with the think3 suite of products will provide an added dimension in
the European market to expand BWIR’s global delivery and execution
capabilities.
“Beyond the transition of think3’s Engineering Services Division to BWIR,
we look forward to pursing opportunities in which the synergy between think3
and BWIR will provide greater resource capabilities to meet our global
strategic objectives,” commented Filippo Zuccarello, CEO of think3.
