New Subsidiary in the Eurostep Group
On June 1st 2007, Eurostep Group expands by the launch of the French subsidiary: Eurostep SARL. The headquarters of Eurostep SARL will be located in Saint Quentin-en-Yveslines in the western part of Paris.
The managing director of Eurostep SARL is Mr Christian Giraud. Before joining Eurostep, Mr Giraud worked for Capgemini. He has vast experience from working with PLM from both the business and technical perspective. Mr Giraud also has extensive experience from working in management positions.
Mr Patrick Houbaux is senior consultant at Eurostep SARL and will be leading the technical work. Mr Houbaux has worked for Eurostep Finland for several years with implementation of PLM solutions based on global standards like STEP, PLCS, IFC and Webservices.
"The establishment of Eurostep in France is a result of organic growth driven by customer demand", says Håkan Kårdén, CEO Eurostep Group. "By establishing Eurostep SARL, we enhance the support to our French customers. Eurostep Group has been an international venture from the start in 1994, and all subsidiaries of Eurostep Group have access to the leading edge PLM/PLCS knowledge base in Eurostep Group. France is a large market with great potential for our software Share-A-spaceT and for our services", ends Mr Kårdén.
"It is very exciting to establish Eurostep in France", says Mr Giraud. "French companies are world leading in the aerospace, defence, automotive and telecom industries. They all compete on the global market, where they face the challenges of simultaneously improving operational efficiency while accelerating innovation. Standards-based information integration using Share-A-spaceTM lets companies successfully conquer these challenges", ends Mr Giraud.
The first event organized by Eurostep SARL will be the training in the ISO-standard for Product Life Cycle Support, PLCS. The training will be held at the Novotel Saclay between the 26th and 28th of June 2007.
