Technology Leader Shows Strong Figures and Sustained Organic Growth
LÉVIS, QC, March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Creaform, leader in portable 3D
portable measurement technologies and 3D engineering services, today
announced its financial results for 2012. Once again, the company has
had a very successful year with C$44.5 million in annual sales, which
makes for an organic growth of 19% over 2011. 2012 technology sales
show a YOY growth of 38%, with 74% in Q4. The 3D Engineering Services
report a steady YOY growth; significant efforts have been made to add
CFD specialists to its FEA team of experts, resulting in an expanded
portfolio of numerical simulation services.
"2012 has been an excellent year for Creaform overall, but what's
strikes the most is the success that we have had with our new releases.
We were right on target in identifying and targeting the needs of the
industry with the launch of the Go!SCAN 3D white light 3D scanner, and
largely exceeded the number of units we had planned on selling.
Furthermore, our new Pipecheck solution, launched back at the end of
2011, has raised major interest among the NDT and Oil & Gas
communities, with 76% YOY growth," explained Martin Lamontagne,
president and CEO with Creaform.
Among Creaform's various territories worldwide, USA and Japan
particularly stood out in 2012, with a YOY growth of 60% and 32%
respectively.

YOY growth in 2012 for its metrology technologies comprised of the
HandyPROBE optical CMM, the MaxSHOT 3D optical coordinate system and
