Stratesys – a Spanish digital integration systems company – has set up a UK base at Sci-Tech Daresbury.
The digital trailblazer works with enterprise companies and SMEs to develop their market strategy and will base itself in the Innovation Centre on the campus.
As part of its expansion, the company has appointed Reuben Ash, an experienced ERP, digital, and e-commerce specialist with a background in working with corporates, as director of sales and business development for UK and Ireland.
Stratesys is looking to grow its team to up to 20 during 2023.
The Spanish firm – which has an annual turnover of $91m and has 27 per cent year-on-year growth – has a strong and consolidated presence in Europe and America, supported by a team of over 1,500 professionals deployed throughout its offices in Spain, Portugal and Germany.
Existing clients in UK include Virgin Media O2, Tui, Anglo American and others within the consumer goods industry.
Pablo Meijide, UK country partner at Stratesys, said: “We’re thrilled to announce our arrival in the UK and at Sci-Tech Daresbury. When looking for our UK location, we wanted to be surrounded by fellow innovators, where we would have access to leading universities and other pioneering research bodies.
