27 August 2013 – Westford, MA, USA – Zuken, a global leader in electronic design automation software, has announced that it will invest $30 to $50 million in its U.S. based operation over the next three years. The Americas expansion will be anchored by a new Zuken innovation center located in Silicon Valley.
David Gullickson, General Manager of Zuken Americas, said, “During the past 10 years, we have steadily and consistently grown our North American business. This investment represents an acknowledgement of our success and allows us to take our business to the next level. The additional resources that this investment provides will allow us to promote our technology to a broader audience within the Americas and increase our business at a more rapid rate.”
Zuken plans a September opening of its new innovation center.
