YAVNE, ISRAEL – Valor Computerized Systems has obtained the assets of PCB Matrix Corp. The acquisition expands Valor’s product portfolio of PCB design solutions; PCB Matrix customers will be able to access Valor’s global support services. 

PCB Matrix was a partner with IPC in the development of IPC-7351 Land Pattern standards, and the LP Wizard land pattern generation software was awarded the DesignVision Award at DesignCon 2007.

“We believe the industry will benefit from a streamlined library creation process that has the potential to incorporate manufacturing knowledge into the EDA libraries. This will ultimately lead to more manufacturable designs the first time through,” said Patrick McGoff, vice president of design market at Valor.
