Growth strategy garners Frost and Sullivan award

Metris has won the 2006 Frost and Sullivan Growth Strategy Leadership of the Year Award for its strategies towards growth and contribution to the dimensional metrology industry.

Metris has been selected by Frost and Sullivan as the recipient of the 2006 Frost and Sullivan Growth Strategy Leadership of the Year Award for its strategies towards growth and outstanding contribution to the dimensional metrology industry.

Recognised as one of the leading market participants in the dimensional metrology arena, Metris is best known for its innovating, optical metrology products.

Each year Frost and Sullivan presents this award to a company that has exhibited an exceptional growth strategy within its industry.

"Metris has grown tremendously in the metrology market as a result of our acquisition and innovation strategy", comments Bart Van Coppenolle, CEO and President of Metris: "We are delighted that the independent Frost and Sullivan market research team has recognised Metris with this award for being the most innovating metrology company".

"Dedication in offering quality products, wide ranging product portfolio, and focused penetration into diverse end-user groups are some of the key performance indicators that validate the company's achievements", says Frost and Sullivan Research Analysts Madhan Dhandayutham and Prathima Bommakanti.

"One of the key strategies of Metris is to not only grow organically but as well by acquisitions".

"This has aided not only in completing its total solutions portfolio, but also in building new products as demanded by the market", notes Dhandayutham.

"It has also been successful in forming alliances with key end users and OEMs to expand its market presence".

Being a global supplier of traditional and optical-based dimensional metrology products, Metris addresses the diverse needs of its customers.

End users are teaming up with the company, seeking products and solutions to their diverse measuring needs.

As a complete solution provider, Metris presently offers co-ordinate measuring machines (CMMs), laser-scanning products for CMMs, handheld laser scanners for articulated arms and optical CMMs.

More oriented towards aerospace inspection and assembly, Metris offers large volume metrology solutions such as laser radar and infrared GPS.

Metris also offers the application software for the CMM and scanner products, merely focusing on applications involving point cloud based 3D inspection and reverse engineering.

Products from Metris are superior in terms of quality, performance, and adaptability to diverse measuring needs.

"Metris provides a dedicated and efficient support and service assistance to its customers and hence is gaining a strong customer base", explains Bommakanti.

"The company's high level awareness about their customer needs and demands helped Metris penetrate the market further in 2005".

In this scope, it is also worthwhile mentioning that LK, acquired by Metris in 2006, already received the 2005 Frost and Sullivan Customer Service Leadership award.

Research indicates that Metris is establishing itself as one of the leading participants in the development and supply of advanced optical metrology solutions.

The company's established brand name and keen focus on developing innovating products indicate an even more promising future in the coming years.

Going forward, it is forecasted that Metris will be one of the preferred solutions of manufacturers and quality departments for 3D metrology.

All these factors lead to Frost and Sullivan considering Metris as the deserving recipient of its 2006 Growth Strategy Leadership of the Year Award in the dimensional metrology market.
