Delcam notches up 20,000th customer

Dong Guan Woojeon Precision Co Ltd, China has become the 20,000th customer for Delcam's range of CADCAM software with an order for five seats of each of the company’s PowerSHAPE CAD software and PowerMILL CAM system. The customer is a new joint venture that has been established in Dong Guan, China, between Korean companies Cresyn and Woojeon, and Japan’s ARRK Corporation. It will provide a mouldmaking service, mainly for its parent organisations but also for other manufacturers in the region’s rapidly-expanding electrical industry. Tim Mitchell, Delcam’s business development director for Asia, presented Chung Ki Lee from Woojeon with a plaque at Delcam’s recent Asian Technical Summit in Nagoya, Japan. Making the presentation, Mr Mitchell commented on the speed with which the new landmark had been reached. “It took until 2004 for us to reach 10,000 customers,” he said. “Since then we have added new clients more quickly as we have expanded our global network of resellers. We gained our 15,000th client in April last year and have now reached 20,000 customers. “Of course, our numbers have been boosted by the acquisition of PartMaker and Crispin software since last April,” he added. “However, this expanded range of software means that we will continue to add new customers at an ever-increasing rate.” Established in 1985, Cresyn is a leading audio equipment manufacturer, specialising in ear phones and head phones. More recently, the company has expanded into the optical business, making components for cameras. Woojeon is a leading Korean manufacturing company whose principle business is producing the highest quality plastics cases and other parts for mobile phones. ARRK, which is already a major customer for Delcam software, is the world’s largest prototype manufacturer and mouldmaker. From its origins in Japan, the company has expanded globally so that its subsidiaries and joint ventures can now be seen in most major industrial countries.
