    Aerosoft übernimmt den belgischen Simulations-Spezialisten SimWare

    Paderborn, 24. September 2012 – Die Aerosoft GmbH mit Sitz am Flughafen Paderborn/Lippstadt gibt heute die Übernahme der in Brüssel ansässigen SimWare SPRL bekannt. Beide Unternehmen haben sich in ihren jeweiligen Heimatländern bereits seit den 1990er Jahren als feste Größe im Bereich der Flug- und Eisenbahnsimulationen etabliert.

    Aerosoft Geschäftsführer Sascha Baumhoer, der ab sofort auch als Geschäftsführer von SimWare fungiert, nennt folgende Gründe: „SimWare hat seit fast 20 Jahren eine ausgesprochen gute und feste Bindung zu seinen Kunden in Belgien und Frankreich aufgebaut. Diese Form der Kundenbindung ist auch für Aerosoft immer treibende Kraft seines Wirkens gewesen. Daher sind wir überzeugt, dass SimWare und Aerosoft sehr gut zueinander passen und sich aufgrund der einander ergänzenden Märkte starke Synergie-Effekte einstellen werden.“

    SimWare wird unter der Leitung von Aerosoft seine Eigenständigkeit bewahren und seine Kunden auch in Zukunft von Brüssel aus betreuen. Dabei wird sich SimWare verstärkt auf die Märkte der Beneluxstaaten und Frankreichs fokussieren. „Nach 20 Jahren bei SimWare möchte ich mich nun auf die Firma „Wilco Publishing“ konzentrieren, die ich 1997 gegründet habe. Ich habe mein Wissen und meine Erfahrungen bei SimWare an das Management- und Logistikteam von Aerosoft weitergegeben und bin mir sicher, dass Aerosoft SimWare’s führende Position in der Simulatorwelt weiter stärken und ausbauen wird“, so Fred Goldman, der bisherige Inhaber von SimWare.

    Durch das nun signifikant erweiterte Produktsortiment wird SimWare seine Präsenz in den Märkten weiter ausbauen und ein fester Anlaufpunkt für die gesamte französischsprachige Simulations-Community werden. “Bei Aerosoft freuen wir uns auf die neuen Kollegen in Brüssel und die neuen Kunden. Wir sind sicher, dass die laufende Expansion von Aerosoft für alle Freunde von realistischen Simulationen nur von Vorteil sein kann”, sagt Winfried Diekmann, Geschäftsführer von Aerosoft.

        Aerosoft should be a case study in perfect customer relations, focusing on Mathjis Kok’s business atitude.

      Don’t worry William. You can still find disaster productions from Wilco.

      rihdtrg – maybe the owner of wilco and now former owner of simware realized he can’t do everything and he’s re-evaluating his business plan – refocusing on his wilco products and less on being a re-seller. I will agree that wilco products without feelthere involvement have been well below average, but I’m going to give Goldman the benefit of the doubt at the moment and see what he does next; something on the level of abacus or something timely, ambitious and well above average. It will be interesting.

        bberendts – benefit of the doubt for XX years.. Come on, he has been in charge for enough time to convince some people to refrain them from expecting anything of the highest quality level. 767 PIC and Airport 2000 series granny times are gone. Then, I just agree with a part of your last words. Definately the level of abacus should be his thing : there are still customers for such !!@çà)=)à=ù*!;!! , even Flight Soft are still hanging around ! You got my point : “well above average”, “It will be interesting”… more than a surprise, it’s a chicken with fangs, a flying cow with delta wings + horns reversers and promoted as “Exclusive new feature, never seen before, 1st time in the word, validated by actual real life Abacus sim pilots, on sale before bugs fixing but the Evolution [s]patch[/s] update in 2 years will make the cows horns sound biip biip like in real life”.
