Esprit's world-wide sales and support network will now have the technical expertise and advanced machining capabilities of the Auton 3-axis, 5-axis and high-speed machining technology available to serve its local markets.
The Auton community will benefit from having the wire EDM, advanced production and multitasking mill-turn machining technology of Esprit available to them.
DP's regional offices in Europe, Asia and America will coordinate the sales and support activities for both products.
The combined companies will move forward with all their existing personnel and two separate products marketed under the same brand name, Esprit.
The products will retain their individual design, focus and development teams while benefiting from the strength of one world-wide brand identity.
This strength will inspire greater confidence and stronger commitment to each individual product.
The three co-founders at Auton, Francesco Bandini, Marco D Ancona and Roberto Parigi, agree the development teams in Florence and Camarillo have been dramatically strengthened as a result of this merger.
They expressed confidence the teams' close collaboration to exchange ideas, technology and business processes will greatly benefit each individual product.
Most significantly, as a result of the merger each Auton co-founder personally anticipates a return to increased involvement in product research and development.
"With this Merging of Italian Design with American Technology DP Technology reinforces its commitment to CNC programmers to provide them with the most powerful CAM software ever," said Dan Frayssinet, DP Technology's chief executive officer.
"This perfect, strategic merger provides our customers, employees, resellers and partners with greater opportunity, significantly more strength, and added security that their choice of Esprit as their CAM system is The Right Choice".
