FARO, the world’s leading provider of portable measurement and imaging systems, announces that the company has joined the Motorsport Industry Association (MIA).
As the motorsport industry is a key sector for FARO it is important to be a part of the MIA, according to David Homewood, Area Vice President of Sales for the UK, France and Benelux. “Our portable 3D measurement devices are very often used in the automotive and motorsport industry. For this industry, it is important to be on the forefront of technology and to guarantee that the quality of parts, composites and the car itself meet the highest standards.”
