VISTAGY Hires General Manager of Asia Pacific to Manage Revenue Growth of over 300 Percent.


WALTHAM, Mass. -- Sales of FiberSIM(R) software to aerospace companies across the Asia Pacific region have increased 318 percent in a single year

VISTAGY, Inc., the developer of FiberSIM(R) computer-aided-design (CAD) integrated software Separate software components or applications that have been combined into one package. See integrated software package.  for the design and manufacture of composite parts, today announced the appointment of Mamoru Iguchi as its general manager of the Asia Pacific region. The company has established this new position in response to a remarkable 318 percent, multimillion-dollar growth in Asian purchases of FiberSIM over a twelve-month period ending September 30, 2005.

Some of the major purchasers of the software during that period include the following companies, and a number of their suppliers:

--Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) in Sacheon City, South Korea (http://www.koreaaero.com/)

--Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) in Shenyang, China (http://www.sac.com.cn/eng/index.htm)

--China Helicopter Research and Development Institute (CHRDI) in Jingdezhen, China

--GKN Aerospace Engineering Services in Port Melbourne, Australia (http://www.aues.aerospace.gknplc.com)

--Several major Japanese aerospace industry manufacturers.

These companies will use FiberSIM to design and manufacture composite parts for helicopters and commercial airliners.

"The aerospace industry in Asia Pacific is expanding rapidly and we are forming many new partnerships with aircraft manufacturers throughout the region and worldwide," says Mamoru Iguchi, the newly appointed general manager of Asia Pacific for VISTAGY. "FiberSIM has established a strong foundation in Asia Pacific over the past few years, with many additional exciting opportunities to come."

"FiberSIM software is already in widespread use at aerospace companies throughout North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere.  and Europe," says Steve Luby, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of VISTAGY. "As Asian manufacturers continue to embrace advanced composite design and manufacturing methods, they are experiencing the benefits of FiberSIM's powerful capabilities as well."

The most recent release of FiberSIM includes the Advanced Composite Engineering Environment(TM) (ACEE ACEE Agence Canadienne d'Évaluation Environnementale (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency)
ACEE AmeriCorps for Community Engagement and Education
ACEE Area Centers for Educational Enhancement (Florida) 
), which automates a number of repetitive tasks associated with the design, simulation, and manufacture of composite parts. Several of the tools in the ACEE aid engineers with the challenges specific to creating large aerostructures such as fuselage sections or wings.

The general manager of Asia Pacific will be responsible for sales of FiberSIM to Korea, Japan, China, Australia, and other countries in the Asia Pacific region. His focus will include the aerospace industry, expanding sales among Asian automotive OEMs and suppliers, as well as penetrating new markets.

About FiberSIM(R)

FiberSIM(R) is a suite of software that turns major CAD systems into advanced tools for designing and manufacturing composite parts. The software enables engineers to create a complete digital product definition of a composite part within their 3D modeling environment. FiberSIM supports flexible design methodologies for a wide variety of materials and manufacturing processes and automatically generates design details all the way from complex ply (mathematics, data) ply - 1. Of a node in a tree, the number of branches between that node and the root.

2. Of a tree, the maximum ply of any of its nodes.
 and zone drop-offs to variable offset surfaces for mock-up mock·up also mock-up

Many materials are produced as composites, such as the fiberglass-reinforced plastics used for automobile bodies and boat hulls, but the  deforms over complex curvature and generates manufacturing information including documentation, flat patterns, and data to drive downstream manufacturing equipment. FiberSIM also uses XML XML
