Maplesoft Opens Office in Germany

Maplesoft, a provider of high-performance software tools for engineering, science, and mathematics, announced the opening of its first office in Germany. The move to localized sales and support in Germany underscores the importance of the German and Austrian market for Maplesoft. With the opening of this office, Scientific Computers will no longer act as Maplesoft’s reseller in Germany and Austria. Maplesoft is working closely with Scientific Computers to ensure a smooth transition for existing users.

The office in Aachen, Germany will be led by Fred Kern, Vice President of International Sales. “A direct presence in Germany will allow us to more closely align with our customers in order to most effectively understand their needs and support them,” said Kern. “We are looking forward to working closely with our extensive user base in Germany. We thank Scientific Computers for their support over the years and we wish them well in their future business endeavors.”

The Maplesoft office in Germany is now open, and local representatives are available to support all new and existing customers. To contact the Maplesoft office in Germany, please call 49-241-980919-30 or email germany@maplesoft.com. Some members of Scientific Computers’ staff have become Maplesoft employees, so that customer relationships – both business and technical – will not be interrupted.
