“The philosophy of both companies to deliver reliable, safe, and honest engineering services fits perfectly”

On November 1st, 2016 US based company Setpoint Inc. and Simtec Systems GmbH based in Germany signed a strategic partnership agreement.

Setpoint Inc., with its focus on roller coasters, show action equipment as well as custom engineering of amusement ride systems, will act as Simtec´s project partner for North America.
In return Simtec Systems, focusing on customized simulator systems, flying theaters and dark rides, will act as Setpoint´s sales agent for Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

“The philosophy of both companies to deliver reliable, safe, and honest engineering services fits perfectly”, says Joe Cornwell, one of the two founders of Setpoint Inc., better known as the “The Joes”.

“This will be a win-win situation for both companies and all of our clients”, Joe VanDenBerghe added.

“We see a lot of potential for our simulator systems, especially for our flying theatre product, in the American market. It is easier to access this with a strong partner like Setpoint. On the other side it is a huge advantage for Setpoint working with Simtec and its market position and subsidiary Simtec Asia for the European and Asian market” stated Bernd Kaufmann, CEO of Simtec Systems.

It is planned that Setpoint Inc. will not only act as Simtec´s sales partner, but also will take over parts of the manufacturing and after sales services for potential new projects in North America.

SETPOINT

 

In 1991, two former Arrow Dynamics engineers decided to create their own company. The thesis was simple: develop a culture that delivers reliable, safe, and honest engineering services. By starting with a culture rather than a product, the engineers, later known as “The Joes”, believed that success would follow. One year later it did and after countless hours of research and trial and error, “The Joes” founded Setpoint Inc:

A fully tailored engineering service and product provider for the amusement and automation industries.

Much has changed since that historical decision, but “The Joes” and team members at Setpoint continue to draw upon our foundational values of culture before product. Commitment to excellence, a quickened and on-time engineering process backed by integrity, and a willingness to check ALL “egos at the door” has served as the backbone to our success. It’s a fact that our engineering and business philosophy has established a reliable formula for over three generations of competitors.
