Two renowned transmission consultant companies headquartered in Alsdorf/Germany and Nottingham/UK have announced that they are forming a strategic partnership to jointly work on turnkey transmission design, development and testing projects.

With their combined 35 years of experience on state of the art transmission engineering consultancy work they complement each other's strengths, specifically on transmission design, simulation software, prototyping and transmission rig and in-vehicle testing.

With more than 80 test cells, GIF is the leader in independent powertrain and transmission testing, while Romax Technology has developed Ro-maxDesigner, the industry-leading virtual product design software for trans-missions.

For customers worldwide, the GIF-Romax brand will provide an integrated solution for the design and development of complete transmission projects. With their combined resources, they are able to handle even larger and more complex projects.

"We are extremely happy that GIF has chosen to work with Romax as a partner. With this agreement in place we hope to develop a range of integrated and intelligent design, simulation and test solutions that will deliver compressed lead times and reduced costs compared to the traditional ‘over-the-wall’ development methods" said Dr. S.Y. Poon, Managing Director of Romax Technology Ltd.

"We are excited to have found ROMAX as our new partner and have high expectations on our joint future business. The two companies are absolutely complementary in their core technologies and also have very similar ‘esprit des corps’. With the joint experience and combined resources we will be able to offer much more complex turn key transmission and driveline projects from concept development up to design and production verification. This will give us a competitive edge and offer an added value to our customers" stated Rolf Laufs, Managing Director of GIF.
