Leuven, Belgium – March 4, 2005 – LMS, the engineering innovation company, today announces the celebration of its 25th anniversary. LMS was founded in 1980 and grew into a successful engineering innovation partner for companies in the automotive, aerospace and other manufacturing industries. In the eighties, LMS became a market leader in physical test and has created many innovative technologies for the refinement of physical prototypes. Over the last decade, LMS developed an integrated process solution for virtual prototype testing, combining virtual simulation with feedback from physical testing. This innovative approach enables engineering teams to optimize critical functional performance attributes from the early development stages onwards. To underline its 25th anniversary, LMS has launched a fully renewed corporate identity that expresses its unique position as the leading engineering innovation company.
“The past 25 years have been a very successful and exciting journey for LMS”, commented Dr. Urbain Vandeurzen, LMS CEO and Chairman. “From a university spin-off, LMS evolved into the world’s leading engineering innovation company with top-class solutions for functional performance engineering. Close relationships with our leading customers helped us to understand their current and future needs. In close cooperation with these customers, we developed the breakthrough innovations they need to bring better products faster to market.”
“We diversified from our roots in vibration testing and analysis to become a global provider of both test and simulation solutions for structural analysis, noise and vibration, acoustics, system dynamics, structural integrity and durability”, added Dr. Jan Leuridan, LMS Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. “In addition to developing award-winning software products, LMS continuously refined its technical expertise in challenging engineering projects with manufacturers around the world. As a result, LMS delivers a unique combination of world class virtual prototype simulation software, testing systems, and engineering services.”
“Thanks to the joint effort of all the LMS employees, our longstanding and loyal customers, and all our business partners, we have turned a promising company vision into a successful business strategy and strong market leadership”, concluded Dr. Urbain Vandeurzen. “To reflect the in-depth transformation of our company and our business processes during the past years, we decided to provide LMS a new up-to-date company logo and corporate identity. It expresses who we are as an organization and reflects our commitment to our customers and to our engineering innovation strategy.”
