The Advitech Group (since become Emergent Group) is pleased to introduce its newest member, Simulation Modelling Services (SMS). Newcastle-based SMS brings with it a successful history in computer simulation to support strategic planning and production planning. This latest expansion further diversifies The Advitech Group’s strong technology capabilities and niche areas of expertise.
Lucas Stretton, SMS Principal Consultant & CEO, is excited about moving forward with The Advitech Group. “The complementary nature of SMS and the Group will bring significant synergies and benefits to both organisations and we are looking forward to a shared future”.
Larry Platt, Executive Chairman of the Advitech Group, believes “the addition of SMS further establishes our position as a leading provider of niche, high value-added products and services. We have a strong desire to see the Hunter prosper as a region of advanced technology and manufacturing. We’re proud of our contribution to this growth.”
SMS and The Advitech Group initially met as fellow members of HunterNet. The coming together of these two organisations reflects several important aspects of HunterNet – namely networking, collaboration and innovation. Together, the shared capabilities of these two organisations will help to promote manufacturing and engineering excellence within the Hunter region.
