PARIS — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 27, 2018 — Commenting on the results, Alain de Rouvray, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ESI Group (Paris: ESI), said: “The good sales performance delivered in Q3 2018 reflects the expected reversal of the trend compared to the first semester. This highlights the increased deployment of our virtual prototyping solutions for achieving the ‘zero real test’ and ‘zero real prototype’ objectives of our customers and partners in their digital transformation towards the Industry 4.0. The trend is especially apparent in the automotive sector where our Hybrid TwinTM solution offers major productivity levers in the context of the shift to the smart factory. In this context, the continued investment of our historic customers in our disruptive solutions is a concrete vindication of our transformation plan.”
