NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI, Apr 14, 2016 – Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence and Hendrick Motorsports have announced two-year technology partnership. The relationship will expand Hendrick Motorsports’ measurement systems, training and technical support. The team is a user of ROMER Absolute Arms, GridLOK volume-expansion systems, as well as Hexagon coordinate measuring machines.
The team will have the option to participate in beta testing and provide user feedback during the course of development projects.
“We are honored to partner with Hendrick Motorsports, a dynamic team pushing the boundaries of manufacturing and metrology to ensure repeatable wins on the track.” said Angus Taylor, president and CEO of Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence North America.
