Press Release Summary: On the 15th of August 2007 Ford became the world's first automaker to set a land speed record for a production-based fuel cell powered car when its Ford Fusion Hydrogen 999 raced to 207.297 mph at Bonnenville Salt Flats in Utah to set the record.
Press Release Body: On Friday 15th February CD-adapco will close the door for the final time in N�rnberg\'s HDI Tower, the place that CD-adapco Germany has called 'home' for more than a decade.
The reason? CD-adapco has outgrown its old home and is moving to a plush purpose built office in the new state-of-the-art Nordostpark development, located close to N�rnberg airport. The new office occupies 2000 square meters and has the potential to house well over 100 talented developers, support engineers and consultants, allowing CD-adapco to effectively double the size of its German operation over the next few years.
First opened in 1991, with just a single employee, the German office has the consistently been one of the fastest growing parts of the CD-adapco empire. In 1998, when CD-adapco moved into the HDI Tower, they initially occupied just one-half floor, later expanding to take over two full floors of the building. With its strong position in the automotive sector, CD-adapco has always been strongly committed to the German market and, according to European Sales Director Raimund Schipp, this significant investment is a strong statement of intent: "The new office gives us the opportunity to expand the talented array of people that serve the German market and CD-adapco as a whole. We have always prided ourselves on the quality of our people\", he says. "Becoming a CD-adapco customer means more than purchasing world-class software or services; it opens the door to an unrivalled wealth of engineering expertise."
The new offices also includes a large area for visiting customers, state of the art training facilities, and fully equipped meeting rooms and demo theatres. Office Manager Maeve O'Brien says: "We have always worked hard to make visitors to our offices feel welcome. The new office space allows us to do that in comfort; it is specifically designed to facilitate meeting and interacting with our customers. "
