Lantek Systems Ltd. (Malvern, UK), a global leader in CAD/CAM for sheet metal applications, is further pursuing a policy of increasing its export market by signing a worldwide collaboration agreement with Vanad 2000 a.s. (Jeníkov, Czech Republic), which manufactures fiber laser, oxy-fuel and plasma cutting machines at its headquarters in the Czech Republic.

Vanad has delivered well over 1,000 machines through its distribution network which extends across Eastern Europe, Russia, Germany, Austria and as far as South Africa. It has a program of continuous development and has recently added four new machines to its portfolio, the Kompakt Light plasma cutter that can cut material up to 30 mm thick with plasma or 50 mm with oxy-cut; the Bluester with automatic plasma 3D head; the Suprema that can cut sheets up to 12 m x 3.1 m; and the Laser Kompakt fiber laser that offers travel speeds of over 45 m/minute.

Lantek Expert CAD/CAM software is already distributed in more than 100 countries worldwide and the software supplier has its own offices in 15 including the U.S., Germany, Chile, Japan and China, enabling it to deliver high quality global support to its customers. Francisco Perez, the director of OEM channels at Lantek, says, “By agreeing a worldwide strategic partnership with Vanad 2000, we will be able to increase our penetration of the Eastern European market. They have been particularly successful there. We already have partnership arrangements with some of its distributors. With our office in Poland and our existing dealers in Hungary and Croatia, we will be able to deliver high quality support and training to new customers in the region.”

For Vanad 2000, offering Expert CAD/CAM nesting software as a turnkey solution with its machines will bring access to premium CAD/CAM solutions to their customers, enhancing the return on investment they achieve from investing in Vanad equipment. In addition, Lantek’s global network will open up opportunities for Vanad in new export markets, allowing it to extend its dealer network and grow the reputation of the company.
