Steve Dobson, managing director, Quadra Solutions, said, “We are delighted to be reporting a great year for Quadra and this award is the icing on the cake. We rode out the economic downturn across the UK and Europe by providing a consultative approach right from initial contact, ensuring we delivered the best solutions that exceeded our customers’ expectations. This approach has put us in a strong position as we now strengthen our relationships with partners and invest in further staff.”
Jeroen Leinders, CADSTAR worldwide sales manager, said, “Quadra Solutions continues to show a winning combination of experience, expertise and strategy in supporting CADSTAR customers across the UK, Netherlands and Scandinavia.”
Global Invacom, one of the world's largest manufacturers and suppliers of satellite and TV peripheral equipment, recently worked with Quadra to adopt CADSTAR software.

We evaluated a wide range of software options and after much consideration the decision was made to move forward with CADSTAR. The software has provided us with a world-class PCB design solution for our mixed technology product range, and the support from Quadra will help aid us in our future plans.”
