ESPOO, Finland, March 8, 2007 - Tekla India, a regional distributor of the Tekla Structures modeling software for the building and construction industry, expands and strengthens its operations by more than doubling the number of local personnel and by increasing training and implementation services. As part of the expansion strategy, Tekla India plans to open a second office in Hyderabad and locate staff in other areas of India in the near future. Tekla's first Indian office is located in Mumbai.

Tekla India, which used to be a liaison office, will become a full-span area office. Says Ajit Mohite, Area Director of Tekla India, about the expansion's benefits to Tekla's customers in India:

"To satisfy the growing requirements of local Tekla Structures users and to offer an even better service to our customers, we have more than doubled our staff and plan to establish new training centers in, for example, Calcutta, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad, Ahemadabad, Bangalore and New Delhi. Tekla is currently the industry leader in India and customers have great faith in Tekla Structures software. Using our advanced solutions hugely benefits all our customers' organizations."

"With the help of new service personnel and training centers, we will be able to offer customized development services and industry-specific training to all our users. Since the Tekla Structures solution can be utilized at various levels of an organization, we are now better placed to provide in-depth information and guidance about the Tekla products and their features to lower and upper management-level decision makers, and to ensure a better return on their software investment."

Tekla India has previously been working in cooperation with a local reseller partner. Now, however, customers can enjoy direct communication with the software developer and the full product portfolio of configurations for not only steel detailers and fabricators but also for other EPC professionals: structural engineers, precast concrete detailers and manufacturers, as well as contractors.

In Mohite's assessment, the Indian market is growing strongly. "Our biggest customers believe Tekla Structures will help them achieve more. Our plan is to work closely with all industry organizations, private and public, to promote the use of Tekla Structures in domestic projects, such as power and process plants, airports, offshore structures, bridges and stadiums, which is in line with India's ambition to create world class infrastructure."
