CREAFORM Boosts its Commercial Presence in Brazil

April 17, 2014

Lévis, Québec, MARCH 17, 2014 Creaform, worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and 3D engineering services, today announced that it will have an even more significant presence in Brazil, thanks to Ametek Brazil corporate presence and facilities in the region, providing sales, marketing, support, and sales and logistics to resellers and customers.

In addition, Creaform has nominated Fernando Feliciano as its new Sales Supervisor for Brazil. Mr. Feliciano has had previous experience with Creaform’s technologies after having worked for a reseller in the industry. Prior to this tenure, he worked for over three years at John Deere.

“This is the beginning of a new era of our market growth in Brazil,” explained Stephane Galibois, Head of Sales – Americas. “Ametek’s corporate entity in Brazil will provide us with tremendous tools for market access, customer contact and support. Because of the challenges of getting our product into Brazil and hiring qualified personnel, Ametek’s collaboration has been instrumental in making this happen so seamlessly and quickly. It’s a great opportunity for us to be more present on this market. Without a doubt, the automotive and aerospace industries are very present with Embraer and most car manufacturers in the cities of Sao Paolo and Rio as well as in the region of Porto Allegra, Rio Grande do Sul.  What’s more, Brazil is the seventh biggest automotive manufacturing country, with 3.5 million cars produced yearly. It is indeed an excellent potential for Creaform’s growth.”

Creaform has been offering its best-in-class 3D measurement technologies to the Brazilian market for many years. This latest market push is a further testament to the company’s commitment to the region. “Brazil’s economy is the largest of the Latin American nations, similar in GDP size to that of the United Kingdom or Russia, and one of the fastest-growing in the world.  We expect Creaform’s local business to grow significantly thanks to the closer and more efficient support to end users” added Mr. Galibois.
