CAD Schroer Partners with TECHSOFT to Bring Powerful, Integrated Drafting Support to Pro/ENGINEER® Customers in Austria
CAD Schroer Group (CSG), the global engineering solutions provider, and PTC® European Software Partner of the Year, welcomed a new reseller in Austria, focusing on STHENO/PRO, the legacy data management and drafting solution fully integrated with Pro/ENGINEER, Pro/INTRALINK® and Windchill PDMLinkT.
CSG, known for its MEDUSA4T and STHENO/PROT MCAD software suites, has a strong international presence with offices in Germany, Switzerland, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and the United States. "Offering local, friendly, and technically competent advice to our customers has always been our fundamental strength," says Michael Schroer, founding Director of the company that has grown from strength to strength since its beginnings as a CAD-based engineering services provider in 1986.
New Partners in Key Locations
Its extensive reseller network, which subscribes to the same ethos, already covers much of the globe, but there is plenty of room for growth in specific countries and market niches. "Our latest partner drive focuses on suppliers to Pro/ENGINEER® customers, who recognise STHENO/PRO as an unrivalled solution", says Gilbert Koch, who looks after CSG's Austrian and Swiss business. "This month we are pleased to welcome Techsoft, a highly experienced PTC partner."

Developed in partnership with PTC®
"PTC and CSG have enjoyed a very successful, close and collaborative partnership for many years now," says Gearoid Smyth, Head of Global Marketing Programs at PTC, "and STHENO/PRO is testament to this relationship, offering best in class 2D and legacy maintenance, which means new and existing Pro/ENGINEER customers can easily transfer valuable 2D drawings into their 3D world."
STHENO/PRO replaces the need for a 3-tier (Pro/E - 2D - paper) approach, working hand-in-glove with Pro/DETAILT, offering seamless, bi-directional data exchange, and the incorporation, editing and maintenance of raster data. It allows for the quick and easy creation of things like 2D concepts, layouts and tender designs, as well as 2D adaptations of Pro/DETAIL® sheets for product designs, technical manuals, and installation designs.
"No matter which corner of the globe you visit, design engineers have much in common: they need competent advice, backed by reliable, efficient, integrated tools that work the way engineers do - freeing, rather than restricting, creativity," Michael Schroer concludes, "STHENO/PRO has managed to capture the imagination of customers throughout the world, precipitating our move for further expansion. We are always pleased to find partners who, as leaders in their field, share our passion for friendly and competent customer support, providing real added value to any systems implementation."
