Hagerman growth continues with Southern California acquisition

by Dennis Hagerman, President

As detailed elsewhere in this newsletter, we have acquired the business of Lackner Computer Systems in Placentia, California, as of the close of business September 1, 2006.

Michael Lackner’s eponymous enterprise has been an Autodesk reseller since 1986.  His primary focus has been on the manufacturing segment, as is ours.  Over the years he has acquired several Autodesk resellers and has amassed a large and diverse customer base stretching from Santa Barbara to San Diego, and east to Las Vegas.  We are very pleased to have the opportunity to serve this excellent group of customers, and we do look forward to the opportunity to expand on what has already been achieved.

For the next few weeks, the integration of Lackner’s well managed operation into ours will occupy our attention.  On November 8, 2006, we will hold a major customer event to introduce ourselves and meet Lackner’s customers and prospects.

The move into Southern California which we have initiated complements our recent expansion into Northern California, with an office in San Jose.  Between the two offices we will provide software and services to virtually the entire manufacturing base in the State of California.  With a focus solely on manufacturing, Hagerman & Company’s California offices will offer unrivaled expertise and experience in the MCAD market.  We will provide expertise in 3D design, visualization, 3D printing, simulation, electrical, CAM, document control, facilities management, and manufacturing process management to our clients.  As Autodesk’s Channel Partner of the Year for 2006, we have demonstrable rapport with Autodesk, whose resources will support our efforts.

So we invite all firms in California and throughout our market area to contact us for assistance in improving manufacturing productivity.  As we like to say, Make the Move!
