Animatics Announces New European Operations and Expansion Program


Animatics GmbH, a newly formed company with offices in Memmingen, Germany has opened as a part of Animatics Corporation's worldwide expansion efforts. "This is the first of a number of new business units being created for the continued global positioning of Animatics," explained Robert Bigler, CEO of Animatics. "We have just finished a very successful 4-year program of adding worldwide distribution. We are now moving ahead with a multi-year program that will establish our own entities in the major industrial markets of the world."

Animatics Corporation is best known for its SmartTechnology(TM) products including the patented SmartMotor(TM) and ServoStep(TM) which are advanced high technology solutions in a very small, high density package consisting of a servo motor with the complete closed loop control, drive and encoder all built-in. It replaces (outdated) conventional servo and step-motors with their mass of related controls, cabinets and cables. A full range of SmartTechnology products will be assembled and marketed to European customers from our new Animatics GmbH facility in Germany.
Animatics Corporation started over 18 years ago as a builder of CNC machines and continues in this business today. With two sophisticated PC level CNC software packages, SmartMotors operate laser, plasma, torch, and water jet cutting machines. Animatics even provides a PC program for the automated mass production of stitching textiles and other high volume products that can be made infinitely more flexible by using SmartMotors to replace fixed gears and cams.

According to Bigler, "Animatics SmartTechnology allows manufacturers to use our engineering systems designs, products, and software to make products that can be manufactured in the US or European facilities at prices competitive with offshore, low cost labor markets such as China."

Animatics is the patent holder for Integrated Servos and has exhibited high growth since its inception in 1987. The company has frequently been named one of the fastest growing US and Silicon Valley companies as well as the winner of many awards for its advanced SmartTechnology products and machines. "Our management team is experienced in worldwide business and has a history of making money in good times and in bad", said Bigler. "For the last 10 years, our growth has been largely due to customer retention; once a person uses an Integrated Servo and witnesses the benefits first hand, they never go back to the old way."

Animatics is located in the heart of Silicon Valley and designs, manufacturers,
and markets motion control products for industries ranging from semiconductor, nuclear,
