Newton, MA – Valor Computerized Systems Ltd, a global provider of productivity-enhancing software solutions for the electronics industry, announced today the formation of a new strategic partnership with EMA Design Automation (http://www.ema-eda.com/) as a Channel Partner in the electronics design market in North America. The agreement establishes EMA as a sales and support channel for Valor’s best-in-class DFM solution Enterprise 3000 and the Valor Parts Library (VPL), and the electronics design market will benefit from Valor’s best-in-class DFM solutions and EMA’s expertise as a full-service solutions provider.

“Valor’s DFM is a great addition to our PCB design flow solution, providing improved communications between our customers and their supply chain” said Manny Marcano, President and CEO of EMA. “This technology will enable our customers to improve product manufacturability, reduce the number of design spins, and reduce their overall time to market. We take a holistic approach to customer solutions. Customers want to bring their products to market quickly with quality and at the lowest possible cost. They are not interested in tools.
