In the more specific field of Virtual Manufacturing, the company has been widely successful with its metals and composites stamping and forming solution. In Asia, for example (e.g. Japan, South Korea), the Group has gained new customers; affirming ESI’s strong position in this highly competitive market.

In addition, the commercial investments made to support the virtual reality business (IC.IDO) are beginning to pay off, as evidenced by the contracts signed with Daher in France and Honda R&D in the USA.

This sales momentum is particularly strong in the competitive and innovative industrial sectors, such as ground transportation, aerospace, energy, heavy industry and marine engineering. The success confirms the growing appeal of our virtual prototyping solutions as businesses in all industrial sectors seek accelerated product development cycles.
