MECAS ESI awarded "Company of the Year 2012" by Czech Automotive Industry Association AutoSAP
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Recognizing MECAS ESI's long standing merits in
supporting the Czech Automotive Industry
Paris, France - September 19, 2013 - ESI Group, pioneer and world-leading
solution provider in Virtual Prototyping for manufacturing industries, is proud
to announce that MECAS ESI, the Czech subsidiary of the group, has been awarded
"Company of the Year" by the Czech Automotive Association, AutoSAP.
Founded in 1989, the Automotive Industry Association (AIA) represents the
interests of the Czech ground transportation manufacturers, their suppliers,
other companies and institutions involved in the Czech automotive industry.
On September 4, 2013, in Prague, Vladimir Volák, member of AutoSAP's Steering
Committee and Zdenek Novak, Internal Relations Manager, Deputy Director of
AutoSAP, jointly delivered the "Company of the Year" award to Karel Lunacek, COO
of MECAS ESI.
This award highlights the contribution of ESI to the successful development of
the Czech automotive industry during the past two decades. ESI Group started
collaborating with leading Czech carmaker ?KODA as early as the mid 90's;
supporting the fine-tuning of the crash performance of the first generation
?KODA Octavia. These were the first industrial scale crash simulations performed
in the Czech Republic.
In the following years, ESI started working with the Czech Vehicle Research
Center and several of ?KODA's suppliers, including the design company Swell and
the engineering services branch of Evektor. ESI also initiated long-standing
relationships with highly regarded Czech Universities such as the University of
West Bohemia in Pilsen, and the Technical University of Liberec.
In 2001, ESI acquired its Czech distributor, Mecas, and created the local
subsidiary MECAS ESI, based in Pilsen. This new entity became responsible for
the development of the Group in the whole of Eastern Europe.
Initially focusing on crash performance, ESI's work in the Czech Republic soon
included stamping simulations, enabling material properties and the chained
effects of manufacturing processes to be taken into account when building
Virtual Prototypes. From this start, MECAS ESI progressively expanded the scope
of their competencies, which now include advanced CFD (Computational Fluid
Dynamics) simulation services.
Today, strengthened by collaborative work, the Czech Automotive industry has
gained global competitiveness and delivers cars rated amongst the safest in the
world. Indeed, the crash performance of ?KODA's vehicles have been rated 5 stars
at EuroNCAP several years in a row and attest to the success of the Czech
Automotive industry.
