Tebis America Reports Substantial Growth in 2016
The company experienced its biggest year in sales, prompting expansions and acquisitions.
Tebis America, a software company specializing in CAD/CAM systems for the tool, die/mold, aerospace and automotive industries, has announced a record year in sales for the third consecutive year, regional expansion and new customer acquisition. In year ending December 31, 2016, the company achieved a sales increase of 45 percent over 2015, making it the largest sales revenue year for the company. In addition, the company increased its customer base by 10 percent and added new customers such as Tesla, Volkswagen Mexico and Galaxy Technologies. Growth was also realized with the reacquisition of several past customers. This surge also increased the number of training sessions the company held at its Troy, Michigan, headquarters and onsite at customer facilities.
In addition to adding support team members at its headquarters, the year also saw growth in the number of strategic locations for the company. Personnel and support was added in the Southeastern United States and Canada, while a new distributor was added in Mexico. The company anticipates another sales increase in 2017. Thus, additional support personnel will be needed this year and in the future, the company says.
“This past year was an exciting time for Tebis Software,” says David Klotz, CEO and president. “We introduced new functionality to our software which provided the flexibility of performance and applications packages, making it easier and more affordable for companies to start using Tebis.”
Looking ahead, Mr. Klotz adds that the company will be introducing a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in North America sometime in the first half of 2017. This system will be intended to help companies manage their operations in terms of areas such as planning, scheduling, machine monitoring and more.
