France, December 21 , 2012 – GRAITEC, a leading software developer for modeling and drawing creation for the construction industries - architecture, engineering, steel, wood and concrete fabrication - is pleased to announce the adoption of Advance Steel by Supreme Steel. Supreme Steel is a member company of Supreme Group, the largest privately owned steel fabrication and construction business in Canada, with member companies spread throughout Western Canada, Ontario and the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Further to Supreme Steel’s substantial research of all the available choices on the market to deliver powerful and flexible steel detailing software to replace Supreme Steel’s StruCAD technology, the Edmonton, Winnipeg and Saskatoon offices chose Advance Steel as their main detailing solution because of smart features offered and the easy to use environment of the standalone version. Hugo Michaud, GRAITEC North America Sales Director, comments: “We are proud to have been chosen by a prestigious fabricator such as Supreme Steel. This underlines how strong our technologies have become and demonstrates our commitment to the North American market.” Brad Turner, Detailing Manager of the Supreme Steel Edmonton office adds: “We were impressed with the program’s ability to deal with curved members and plate work. We feel this software gives us flexibility in its ability to develop routines to suit our standard practices. With our current proficiency in AutoCAD development we feel that this software is a natural fit.”
