INFOCAD to Sell Metris Products in Middle East

ATHENS, Greece, Apr 2, 2009 - INFOCAD S.A., a supplier of product development and quality assurance systems in the Middle East and North Africa, recently extended its Distributor Agreement with Metris, to supply advanced metrology solutions for the design and manufacturing communities in the region. INFOCAD is supplying advanced technologies for industrial inspection and measurement and customers are using the technology for diverse applications within the automotive and aerospace sectors, oilfield & maritime services, parts and components manufacture, engineering MRO companies, precision machine shops, amongst others. Metris is a company that designs, develops and markets a unique range of metrology hardware and software for 3D inspection and reverse engineering and is at the forefront in this field.

INFOCAD CEO, Kyriakos Papantoniou says, “We believe that through our relationship with Metris, we will be able to provide our valued customers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Gulf States the best technologies presently available worldwide in the area of metrology and inspection. Our company has known Metris for a number of years and it is clear that the company believes in strong investment in R & D, and making acquisitions when appropriate, to augment their product range with the highest quality offerings. We are therefore confident that our customers will receive the best solution for their needs with Metris solutions. In addition, INFOCAD has repeatedly invested in training its extended pre-sales and after sales team, having sent delegations to Metris UK, based in Derby for product training. We don’t believe in making sales that are not adequately backed-up by high level customer support, and this is particularly important in the Middle East region, where Distributors may often lack the technical knowledge to give the necessary added-value that customers deserve. We aim to differentiate ourselves in the area of training and support.”

Metris products are used extensively in the Automotive and Aerospace and Defense sectors, but also within other engineering and manufacturing vertical sectors to save time, money and reduce manufacturing errors. Such systems are becoming an essential tool to comply with industry standards and create high quality products. In the present era, the company recognizes the need to look beyond traditional markets and sees the Middle East as an important emerging market for their products. Austin Fearnsides, Metris’ Sales Development Director (EurAsia) comments; “INFOCAD personnel are trained to support our technology and provide on-site installation and training ensuring the customer has successful utilization of the system within his processes. We are therefore pleased to have INFOCAD as a partner who understands the territory and the customers needs and will extend our business within the Middle East.”
