Gerber Expands in Vietnam

Tolland, Conn.–based Gerber Technology has bought out Schmidt Vietnam Co. Ltd., its agent and distributor in Hanoi, Vietnam. Going forward, Gerber will operate the unit as a company-owned enterprise.

Schmidt’s staff will work under Gerber.

Company officials said it will also open a second office in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), where it will have a technology center displaying all of Gerber’s CAD and development software as well as cutters and spreaders.

Another service center is being planned in Da Nang.
