Sales of Zuken’s CADSTAR Solution in America Doubled Last Year Thanks to Tropical PCB Design Services Inc.

July 2, 2008 - Munich, Germany and Westford, MA, USA - Celebrations are taking place across America in the Tropical PCB Design offices as they revel in the glory of a year’s roaring trade with Zuken’s CADSTAR PCB design solution. The popularity of CADSTAR rocketed in '07-'08, with sales doubling in numbers from previous fiscal years, proving that CADSTAR is an increasingly popular option. Recognizing this triumph, Zuken announced Tropical PCB Design Services Inc. the American CADSTAR Distributor of the Year.

"A 100% increase in CADSTAR sales for the Americas is an amazing feat - representing a monumental break-through for Zuken," said Jeroen Leinders, CADSTAR Distribution Manager.

Leinders continued, "This achievement can be attributed to two main factors: a recognition by customers that CADSTAR is a stable solution backed by Zuken’s strong commitment to its development; and the improvement in Tropical’s internal processes to deliver more value and better customer service."

Tropical PCB Design Services Inc., headquartered in sunny Florida, is headed up by company president, Sam Burton. He believes that a high level of personal attention to each customer’s needs is of the utmost importance. "The differences between CADSTAR development, distribution, and the support model, compared with that of our competitors is starkly apparent - which is why more and more customers are turning to CADSTAR as their stable solution for the future," said Burton.
