In 2005, ProDesign moved its U.S. headquarters closer to the EDA market place from Wilsonville, OR to San Jose, CA to better serve its customers. CHIPit Gold Edition Pro was launched, and enhancements were made in the software environments of existing CHIPit Silver and Platinum systems. To push expansion into Asia, ProDesign appointed two local distributors -- Terasoft in Taiwan and Eastwell Technologies in China -- to sell and support the CHIPit product line.
Helmut Mahr, CEO of ProDesign, said: "We are delighted about ProDesign's huge success in 2005. Since our entry into the ASIC verification market four years ago we have been able to double our revenues every year. What makes us especially proud is the fact that we were able to achieve this result without VC money. We are confident of reaching this goal again in 2006 by offering new products and implementing other future plans we have. ProDesign reinvested a considerable sum of the 2005 earnings hiring new hardware and software engineers. This established, a strong development and support team responding to customer requests in the fastest way possible and developing great ASIC verification systems in the future."
