Why Prent chose solidworks

We found the SOLIDWORKS environment to be a better solution for several reasons. SOLIDWORKS is easier to use. In fact, a lot of engineers right out of college know how to use it, which reduces training requirements. It's better for integrating with our customers and partners, and provides the integrated design, analysis, and PDM tools that we need at the best price.

Steve Zimmerman, CIO

Prent Corp.

Getting these systems in place has added speed, accuracy, and alignment to our workflow on a global scale. Most importantly, we're now able to consistently rely on 'one version of truth' within our database.

Jesse Winker, Product Development

Prent Corp.

GSC has been a great partner. They're consistent in how they help us acquire, train, and improve our SOLIDWORKS use and related tools. We've made an excellent investment for our organization.

Prent Corporation moved to SOLIDWORKS from Unigraphics. As a global, 600-person company, they needed automated, streamlined design for their custom packaging supporting medical, electronics, and consumer products industries.

 

They doubled throughput and saw a significant, similar jump in global sales.
