Creaform Ranks 7th in Deloitte Fast 50 List in Canada
 LEVIS,
QUEBEC, Canada, Oct 1, 2009 – Creaform, developer and manufacturer of the
Handyscan 3D self-positioning handheld laser scanners and the HandyPROBE
arm-free portable CMM, is extremely proud to announce that it is ranked
among the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing
technology companies in Canada, based on the percentage of revenue growth
over five years. Creaform’s increase in revenues of 4338 percent from 2004
to 2008 resulted in a 7th ranking overall, 2nd position in the province of
Quebec, which is a remarkable improvement from 2008 (22nd position).
 “Canadian
technology companies have demonstrated some very impressive growth numbers
over the past year, amid the challenges of a global recession,” said John
Ruffolo, National Leader, Technology, Media & Telecommunications Industry
Group, Deloitte. “Creaform is an example of the determination, drive and
skill that will serve to position them for further growth and success as the
economic recovery takes hold.”
It is with great pride that Martin Lamontagne, CEO, has accepted the
price last night. "I receive this award on behalf of all the employees at
Creaform, as we owe our growth to their passion and determination. When I
learned about this year’s Fast 50 France’s theme, which is "Disruptive
technology : built another kind of future", I have to admit that it brought
a smile to my face, because this describes precisely Creaform’s core: even
our competition talks about us as being disruptive technology developer!
This is how we gain market shares year after year, how we develop new
applications and new markets and how continue on our growth."
New partnership and a new 3D scanner
The unveiling of Deloitte’s Fast 50 coincides with a very active period
at Creaform. Indeed, the company launched on September 15th a brand new,
entry-level 3D laser scanner - the latest of the Handyscan 3D line-up. Plus,
the company is expanding its product offer through a new distribution
partnership with Leica Geosystems: from now on, Creaform will sell and
support Leica’s family of long range scanners used for as-built,
topographic, detail, and engineering surveys.
