The strength and resilience of our business is reflected in our achievement, not simply in reaching our 20th year, but in the many successes and accomplishments we have earned in that time thanks to the continued support of you, our valued customers.
Many things have changed since Romax was established in 1989. From our humble origins we are now fast approaching 150 people across 10 offices over 7 countries, yet many aspects of our business have remained the same. We continue to foster the pioneering and innovative spirit that led us to develop RomaxDesigner, the first software of its kind in the world. And despite remarkable growth, we still maintain our original philosophy.
Our workforce is empowered by a sense of ownership and a drive for self improvement.
Most prominent and consistent throughout our history is the unique combination of our industry leading simulation and analysis tools and our remarkable engineering teams. This combination continues to add value – as crucial in today’s challenging economic environment at it was in the recession of 1989.
With your vital support, and through continuous investment in our talents, we will continue to push back the frontier of engineering technology for another 20 years and persist in providing genuinely innovative technical solutions to the automotive, rail, marine, aerospace, heavy and wind energy industries.
