LÉVIS, Canada, April 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Creaform, leading global provider of 3D engineering services and technology, is proud to announce the opening of a new calibration centre in Grenoble, France. The company has brought all client support services under one roof to serve their client in the European, Middle-Eastern, and African zones.

The calibration centre used to be located in Paris; it was inaugurated in June of 2008, says André Couture, Vice-President for the EMEA region and member of the Board of Governors for Creaform. The technology that we offer has evolved so much that the first centre had become obsolete and inadequate to correctly serve our clients.

Two Technical Support Specialists work at the new centre, and they will perform the maintenance and calibration of the equipment of clients in the region, as well as offer direct user help via a Hot Line.

With this new calibration centre including the most advanced technology developed in our RD labs, Creaform reaffirms an intention to offer the best proximity service to the European market, indicates Gregory Lepez, Director for the EMEA region. This is a second Creaform international centre for technical support and after-sales service, and we are very proud.
