Crank and Creaform Engineering Combine Forces
to Redefine Product Development Collaboration

Ottawa, ON – November 18, 2025 – Two leaders in engineering innovation are joining forces. Crank Software and Creaform Engineering have united their professional services teams, creating a single integrated resource for companies looking to accelerate product development from concept to final production.

By aligning Crank’s proven strength in embedded GUI and HMI development with Creaform’s renowned expertise in industrial design, mechanical engineering, and simulation, customers now gain access to a one-stop partner capable of delivering smarter, faster, and more cohesive solutions across the entire development cycle.

End-to-End Expertise. Seamless Collaboration.

This strategic alignment means product teams no longer have to juggle multiple vendors or disconnected workflows. Instead, they can count on a coordinated team of experts managing every phase of product creation—from early design strategy and prototyping to embedded software integration and final engineering validation. The result: improved communication, shorter timelines, and higher-performing products that reach market with confidence.

Building on Shared Strengths

“This partnership takes what each team does best and amplifies it,” said Jean-Philippe Boutet, Head of Business Development at Crank. “When you combine deep software knowledge with mechanical and industrial design expertise, innovation happens faster and more naturally. Customers benefit from that synergy every step of the way.”

As part of AMETEK’s Ultra Precision Technology Division, Crank and Creaform Engineering will continue to invest in cross-disciplinary innovation—offering not only end-to-end product development, but also on-demand engineering support, consulting, and project leadership to help customers scale as needed.
