Itris Automation Square enters the Japanese market

April 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Itris Automation Square announces its entry into the Japanese market, following its recent partnership with the Japanese company A.I. Corporation (A.I.C.), based in Tokyo. A solutions vendor, A.I.C. provides marketing, development and engineering services focused on the engineering of software for embedded systems, communications and networks.

Japan is an industrial center that has a high concentration of high-tech companies, particularly PLCs suppliers. A.I.C. becomes the reseller of Itris Automation Square's products in Japan. This implementation will also facilitate contacts between Itris Automation Square and Japanese PLC manufacturers, which sell about 20% of PLCs worldwide (Source: ARC Advisory Group).

Since their early days, Itris Automation Square's tools have been created to meet the needs of the global market. After several export successes in 2011 (5% of sales), Itris Automation Square has decided to structure its international expansion. Japan, a country that develops, uses and prescribes PLCs, is a beachhead to address the Asian market. To do so, an experienced Business Developer has also joined Itris Automation Square's team. He is in charge of setting up a business network in the Asia-Pacific zone.

Éric Pierrel, General Manager of Itris Automation Square, explains: " We are very pleased with the establishment of this partnership in a promising market like Japan. A.I.C. is a trusted partner that will facilitate the distribution of our products to Japanese customers. The Asian market is for us a very important growth driver for years to come ".

Hiroyuki Kato, President of A.I. Corporation, adds: " Itris Automation Square's solution will dramatically improve quality and maintenance for PLC programming. We are excited to work with IAS and add such a unique and promising solution to the portfolio of products that we present ".
