Delcam USA Expands Distribution by Appointing Aztech as FeatureCAM Master Reseller in South Africa


Salt Lake City, UT - November 8, 2005 - Delcam USA has appointed AZtech Design and Manufacturing Solutions as the master reseller of its FeatureCAM range of CADCAM software in South Africa. Under the new arrangement, Redman Engineering Supplies CC will work with AZtech and continue as a FeatureCAM reseller. AZtech has enjoyed a close working relationship with the Delcam parent company for the past five years, and has been consistently successful in selling and supporting its extensive Power Solution range of CAD, CAM, reverse engineering and inspection systems in South Africa.

"Our initial plan was to only sell a portion the FeatureCAM product line, but after learning more about FeatureCAM's automated approach and the depth of their solutions, we decided to promote the entire product immediately and discontinue our relationship with PathTrace," said Georgio Yannikarkis, President of AZtech. "Previously, we had concerns about providing a broadly competitive product line. We can now provide a complete CAM solution from production milling, turning, and wire to mold design and complex 5-axis machining from a single source, Delcam."

"We're excited to be working with AZtech and to participate in their 'Africa Needs Technology' program", added Glenn McMinn, President of Delcam USA. "We have designed a customer-friendly upgrade campaign so that AZtech's existing customers can easily transition to FeatureCAM's automated solutions and still enjoy the professional support they've come to expect from AZtech."

Under the new arrangements Redman will continue to support its FeatureCAM customers directly and will be backed up with the technical support of both AZtech and Delcam USA when required. "We're pleased to be partnering with AZtech and to continue as a FeatureCAM reseller," said Shane Redman, President of Redman Supplies and Engineering. "With the opening of our new offices in Johannesburg, we're expecting our FeatureCAM business to grow considerably in the upcoming months."

Delcam posted record sales in 2004, confirming its position as the world's leading specialist supplier of machining software and services in the CIMdata rankings. With the addition of the FeatureCAM range, sales are confidently expected to grow even faster this year.
