Bentley Systems, Inc, has acquired 9SQ Corporation, a leading provider of integration services and plant design software based in South Korea.

With PlantWAVE, users can streamline the production and delivery of 2D orthographic general arrangement (GA) drawings for process, power, offshore, and marine industry applications from 3D design models created using AutoPLANT, PlantSpace, PDS, and PDMS. Among the many

“On behalf of Bentley, I welcome all PlantWAVE users to the Bentley user community,” said Dr Jean-Baptiste Monnier, senior VP, Bentley Asia-Pacific. “They include a number of PDS and PDMS users who are delivering higher quality projects and running more efficient and profitable organizations by taking advantage of PlantWAVE’s ability to save time and increase productivity.”
He continued, “I also welcome our new 9SQ colleagues to the Bentley team.”
Chang Hoon Lee, former president of 9SQ who was just named Bentley technical director in Korea, said: “We are pleased to be a part of Bentley’s global organization. The breadth and depth of its portfolio will enable us to better serve the needs of our clients and further enhance the efficiency of their workflows.” In his new position at Bentley, Lee is responsible for the continued development of PlantWAVE.
