“In Formula 1, you’re always looking at faster ways to reach the finish line,” said McLaren Racing managing director Jonathan Neale. “While that’s most clearly evident at the racetrack, the ability to improve design efficiency and reduce and refine production and manufacturing methods are crucial elements in our quest to win grands prix and world championships.”

“I’m delighted that we’ve extended our partnership with Processia Solutions to create incredibly streamlined design and production processes.”

“In particular, Processia Solutions, in harmony with Dassault Systemes’ CATIA V6 and ENOVIA V6 software, has provided us with the most sophisticated and up-to-date product lifecycle management system in the world.

Processia’s CEO Vincent Fraser commented, “Our expertise in Product Lifecycle Management and our understanding of Formula One business requirements combined with the power of Dassault Systèmes’ V6 platform will provide significant competitive advantage to the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team.”

“For more than a decade, we’re delighted to showcase our expertise in Product Lifecycle Management, especially within Formula 1 – one of the toughest, most demanding and unforgiving environments in the world.”
