(Wroclaw, 18.9.2013) Espotel, a leading Scandinavian provider of R&D services for embedded systems development and with a Polish office in Wroclaw, has been nominated National Instruments Gold Alliance Partner. The Alliance Partner Network is a program of more than 600 companies worldwide that provide complete solutions and high-quality products to the user, based on graphical system design.

Gold Alliance Partners have established a high level of business, a commitment to an ongoing relationship with NI and professional business practices. They use their application expertise and in-depth knowledge of NI products to build customer-defined solutions in a wide range of industries and applications.

Espotel established an office in Wroclaw in 2010. Espotel Poland currently employs 70 Polish engineers and has quickly become the company’s second largest and fastest growing research & development site, providing a full range of services for global as well as local customers.

“Espotel’s technology and the services provided fit the current Polish market well since there has been a substantial growth in the area of R&D services over the past 10 years, especially within new technologies”, says Maciej Sibiński, Head of Espotel Poland. “Many EU based companies regard Poland as an interesting location for production, and NI tools and products are key elements in Espotel’s Production Testing services”, Sibiński continues.

Espotel has released a new Procket test platform, which contains modular instrumentation and software from National Instruments that make the system reliable, robust and easy to use and maintain. The Procket platform has been successfully used for both R&D and production testing for a diversity of electronics products. Since 2005, Espotel has delivered more than 500 Procket-based test applications worldwide.

“The National Instruments Gold Alliance Partnership together with the new Procket platform help us provide a state of the art production test solution for the Polish market,” Sibiński says. “I therefore see good potential for continued growth and us continuing to recruit the best electronics and embedded system experts on the market also in the future.”
