Altium continues to expands its reseller network in Europe

Altium appoints 4TEST Instrument AS as its reseller in Norway

Oslo, Norway – January 18, 2010 – Altium has appointed 4TEST Instrument AS as its reseller in Norway. 4TEST will support Altium by providing pre- and post-sales support for its next generation electronic design solutions, Altium Designer, the NanoBoard family of reconfigurable development boards and its TASKING embedded software development tool.

It will also provide local engineers electronic design services, including backplanes layout design, boards and layout design, schematics, and component and library management.

"The Norwegian electronics design market continues to grow, despite the broader economic challenges we’re still facing,” said Jonny Langmyren, CEO of 4TEST Instrument AS. “We see Altium Designer as being at the centre of that growth, providing Norwegian engineers with a next generation design tool that can take their projects from concept to deployment in a single design environment.”

Altium has appointed more than 14 new resellers in the last 12 months. In particular, resellers have been added in Scandinavia, Israel, the Benelux region, Romania and in the Americas.

“The momentum continues to build for Altium and the alternatives we bring to the market,” said Martin Harris, Vice President EMEA, Altium. “It’s very satisfying to be able to increase our commitment in Norway, even as we continue to grow our operations elsewhere in Europe, with a new office in Russia and a new partner in Romania."
