CadSoft awards its top resellers in APAC, Americas and Europe

London, 8 February 2012. CadSoft, owners of the market leading EAGLE PCB design software, has today acknowledged the efforts of three resellers who have significantly contributed to the success of the product.

CadSoft has recognised Stratford Digital (USA, Canada), CADware (Czech Republic) and Circuit Boards Service (Japan) as Resellers of the Year.

"We are pleased to have Stratford Digital, CADware and Circuits Boards Service as value added resellers. These partners contribute significantly to EAGLE's success and the EAGLE community in general," states Thomas Liratsch, General Manager of CadSoft.
Besides being the first North American distributor to offer online sales of EAGLE licenses, Stratford Digital also offers custom tools, training, and design services for many of our EAGLE customers. The free web-interface that they maintain at www.eaglecentral.ca/forums provides a great service to the EAGLE community.

CADware has been successfully selling CAM- / CAE- Software and plotters for board manufacturing for over 18 years. EAGLE benefits from their experience and from the close relationship to this Czech company that also publishes its own electronic magazine - DPS.

Circuit Boards Service has established EAGLE in the Japanese market and, thanks to their sales and regional marketing engagement, Japan is now one of the key markets for CadSoft in the Asia Pacific region. Circuit Boards Service focuses on plotters for PCB fabrication, professional CAD Software and automatic test equipment.
