CAE has agreed to acquire Macmet Technologies, an Indian simulation company
based in Bangalore, for approximately $5 million (Canadian) in cash.
"The acquisition of Macmet will provide greater access to India's growing
market, and provide
CAE additional capabilities to offer cost-effective
entry-level training devices," said Marc Parent, CAE's group president of
simulation products and military training and services. Mr. Parent also noted
that CAE recently announced plans to open a training center in Bangalore and
would run two pilot training schools there.
Macmet has 90 employees and has been providing simulation products and services

CAE already has approximately 150 engineers in Bangalore who are developing visual databases, aircraft systems
and instructor support systems software, in addition to verifying and validating
software. 07-18-2007. |
