New distributor for OptiTex software in the Caribbean

New York - OptiTex USA Inc. and Palm Beach based Apparel PreProducion, Inc. (APPS) along with its Dominican affiliate Grupo Banyan. S.A. (GB) are pleased to announce the signing of a distribution agreement for the Caribbean market.

This partnership dramatically enhances OptiTex’s strategic coverage in the Caribbean. The agreement calls for APPS/GB to sell OptiTex wide range of software solutions as well as 3D content. APPS will work closely with OptiTex to develop Progressive Solutions to help Caribbean sewn goods manufacturers meet the challenges of today’s rapidly evolving industry. APPS/GB is composed by skilled technical staff, trainers, salesmen, administrative and financial personnel who have supported diverse CAD requirements throughout the Dominican Republic. APPS/GB has identified OptiTex solutions as the most flexible for import/export and having greatest potential for 2-D design and 3D visualization.

“The 3D market is going to explode in the next 18 months and OptiTex has the best solutions, by far!  This software reduces the line development time and cost; the Virtual Sample Room will reduce the amount of physical sample that need to be made by at least half and at the same time create content that can be use throughout the product lifecycle – even to web based consumer sales” says Steve Princiotta - APPS/GB President

Through their combined expertise, APPS/GB and OptiTex will work in promoting and supporting their solutions as Caribbean’s #1 choice for CAD/CAM software, 3D Draping and manufacturing applications.
 
“Since 1999, APPS/GB has provided nearly one MILLION yards of markers to cutting rooms in Dominican market.  With over twenty years servicing the CAD market, OptiTex couldn’t find a better partnership in the region” Says Yoram Burg, President of OptiTex USA Inc.
