CENIT Receives Significant Order in the US
In 2006, CENIT`s Executive Board put the focus on internationalization generating the necessary investments. Now, the decision was met with success in the US: an American supplier for Boeing and EADS Airbus placed a million-euro-order with CENIT. This lucrative order, which will date to 2008, is promising to have an announcement effect within the American supplier sector. "For years, CENIT has been considered a reliable and competent Product Lifecycle Management partner to EADS Airbus Group and the respective European suppliers. Obviously, our expertise and know-how has not gone unnoticed overseas", stresses Kurt Bengel, Member of CENIT´s Executive Board. He adds: " We are confident, that this service and consulting order will have a significant effect within the US aerospace industry, thus leading to further orders.
Today, CENIT has 18 employees in the US. In the first quarter of 2007, they have generated revenue of € 2.6 million and operative returns of € 0.4 million. " We have taken into consideration the entrepreneurial risk involved and do now receive the reward for our decision. Our focus is on the further growth in the US, thus successfully developing a very important market", explains Christian Pusch, Speaker of CENIT´s Executive Board.
The order placed by the Boeing- and Airbus-supplier mainly includes services in the digital development and manufacturing sector as well as the henceforth necessary data exchange for the so-called Product Lifecycle Management strategy.
