Altium has appointed four new resellers in the US to sell Altium's next generation electronics design solutions, including Altium Designer and its reconfigurable Desktop NanoBoard.

Affinity Alliance, Quantum - Marathon, Dacer Solutions and Earle Associates join Altium's growing list of resellers. Over the past 10 months, Altium has appointed resellers in Canada, Israel, Sweden, Denmark and France. In the last 12 months, Altium has appointed a total of 14 resellers as part of a worldwide campaign to strengthen sales and support changes made to Altium's business model.

"Altium is already seeing positive results from our decision to make it even more affordable for designers to buy Altium Designer," said Gerry Gaffney, Senior Vice President General Manager - Americas. "Electronics designers want the latest technologies as soon as they are made available. Our solution and price point now make that possible for more engineers than ever.

"And by appointing more resellers in these regions, Altium can better service local demand and provide more opportunities for engineers to exploit the advantages of holistic electronics design."
