Hove-based CGTech Ltd (www.cgtech.co.uk) — the developer of Vericut CNC simulation, verification and optimisation software — recently announced that it has set up an office in Moscow to take responsibility for marketing, sales, technical support and reseller support throughout Russia.

CGTech’s managing director, Tony Shrewsbury, said: “There is a growing demand for the simulation of complex machine tools, and CGTech is well positioned to provide manufacturers with the skills and technologies they need to be successful.”
