Altium relocates core R&D and PCB CAD division to San Diego

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Altium Ltd, a global leader in Smart System Design Automation, 3D PCB design (Altium Designer) and embedded software development (TASKING) has announced that it intends to begin a corporate reorganization to best serve the needs of their customers and partners in key growth markets.

This includes the relocation of the PCB CAD Division and its core R&D team as well as executive and senior management to San Diego, CA as the major step.

The relocation to San Diego, where Altium has had a long-established sales and operational presence, represents a natural next-step in the implementation of Altium's renewed growth strategy. It is a result of the focus on PCB design tools and solutions for the PCB design market. The decision was made to allow Altium's CAD division to be more accessible to customers and partners, while still offering global growth potential.

"This move to the U.S. will not only allow Altium to be closer to customers in key markets," says Martin Harris, chief sales officer at Altium, "it will also provide us the opportunity to work closer with our sales channels and strategic partners as well as with the contributors to our 3rd party development network, which uses the openness of Altium Designer to develop solutions for our user community."
