In April 2005, ITeMAX entered into a joint venture with Dowco Consultants Ltd. of Vancouver, Canada, a leading automated structural steel detailing company, to establish DowcoMAX Services Inc. with the objective of providing offshore-based steel drafting and detailing services.
The Indian subsidiary located in Kolkata, called DowcoMAX Services (India) Private Limited, is owned 100 percent by DowcoMAX Services Inc. DowcoMAX (India) has set up a state-of-the-art IT-enabled services facility to serve the international steel detailing services marketplace.
"DowcoMAX (India) is the first step towards ITeMAX's stated objective of developing an integrated knowledge-based services infrastructure in the areas of engineering and healthcare services," said Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri, chairman of ITeMAX Inc. and the founder & chairman of The KPC Group of companies. Continuing on ITeMAX's service offerings, Chaudhuri said, "ITeMAX will soon announce plans to enhance its portfolio of IT-enabled services by adding specialized services for the healthcare industry worldwide."
Initially equipped with 32 workstations (fully licensed with Tekla Structures Detailing Software), and the ability to expand to 100 workstations by fall of 2006, DowcoMAX (India) will continue to support and enhance Dowco Consultant's current detailing production units in Canada.
"By establishing DowcoMAX (India), we can now achieve true '24/7' operation and will be able to meet the most demanding of schedules. Additionally, our service offerings will expand dramatically as we penetrate the global steel construction market," said Ewen Dobbie, vice president of Dowco Consultants Ltd.
