Transoft Solutions Completes Acquisition of Airtopsoft
RICHMOND, British Columbia, June 5, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Transoft Solutions Inc., a global leader in transportation engineering design and analysis software, announced today that its Belgian affiliate company has acquired Airtopsoft SA, a leading developer of airspace and airport modeling solutions. Airtopsoft will continue operating as a standalone company, managing key operations from its office in Belgium. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Airtopsoft was founded in 2006 when it first launched its flagship software, AirTOp.
