Delcam adds to Toronto support

Delcam’s Canadian subsidiary, Delcam Canada, headquartered in Windsor, Ontario, has added Chris Crane as an additional Applications Engineer for the Greater Toronto Area. Mr. Crane has worked in a number of manufacturing facilities in the region for almost ten years. He has gained extensive experience with a variety of CNC machines and manufacturing processes, both while working as a tool and die programmer and while at leading machine tool distributors, Mazak Corporation Canada and EMEC Machine Tools.

Commenting on Mr. Crane’s appointment Delcam VP for Canada Mark Cadogan said, "Chris’s machining background is going to be a valuable asset for all our Toronto-based customers looking for training and support from Delcam.” The appointment comes during a busy year for the Canadian subsidiary, despite the downturn in the automotive industry in the area, on which the manufacturing sector is so heavily dependent.

New sales are being achieved across the complete range of Delcam software. However, the PowerMILL CAM system continued to contribute the largest proportion of the revenue, due mainly to the growing demand for more powerful five-axis machining software from Canadian manufacturing companies. Like its parent company, Delcam Canada is also diversifying outside of its traditional markets in the toolmaking industry to companies looking for particular solutions in production machining, especially in the aerospace and medical industries.

Mr. Cadogan was quick to praise the contribution of his whole team to the continued strong performance. "Over the past year, we have concentrated on getting back to basics,” he commented. "The re-structuring happening for many businesses in the Windsor area has kept our support team very busy. Mr. Crane’s appointment is a clear demonstration of our strong commitment and willingness to work with our customers in the Toronto area.”
