Creaform H1 Sales Up 25%, Handyscan 3D Units Up 22%
 LEVIS,
QUEBEC, Canada, Sep 8, 2009 – Creaform, developer and manufacturer of the
Handyscan 3D line-up of self-positioning handheld laser scanners and the
HandyPROBE portable arm-free CMM, unveils today excellent results for the
first half of 2009, which is very promising for the remainder of the year.
In Asia, Creaform Shanghai reports an impressive Q1 and Q2 YOY growth of
505%, while the Japanese subsidiary managed to double its 1st semester sales
from 2008 to 2009.
Overall, the company has known a YOY growth of 25% for the 1st semester
of 2009, and the number of Handyscan 3D scanners units sold also went up 22%
compared to the same period last year. Creaform also reveals very good
mid-year results for its 3D engineering services, results that are in line
with the target numbers for 2009.
The company is also successful at expanding its
Handyscan 3D and
HandyPROBE technologies worldwide distribution network – with an average of
one new distributor signed every week – and now counts renowned institutions
such as the Natural History Museum of London, Bridgestone and Reebok-CCM as
new clients.
Reasons for success
In addition to the figures listed above, other factors have contributed
to the steady growth of the company: its innovative 3D scanning technology
is now well-known in the world as being an affordable, reliable and high ROI
solution. Plus, the company was able to fully seize new openings from
emerging markets with the opening in 2008 of its two Asian subsidiaries.
Finally, the company can count on its activities in industries that are
immune from the crisis such as medical care and education (with a constantly
growing number of educational institutions purchasing and teaching its
technology).
