LONDON — Sagantec BV will open a support center at the Alba Center campus in Livingston, Scotland.

Sagantec (Fremont, Calif.), which develops EDA tools to support the reuse of hard cores, said its center will initially employ three applications engineers to support local users of Sagantec's tools and to provide migration and optimization services related to the tools' use.

In addition, the company will be working closely with the local university community and the Institute for System Level Integration, a group that includes four universities in Scotland and which already uses Sagantec tools to teach students.

"We believe that setting up this operation at the Alba Center will be a great benefit to us in marketing our solutions to clients throughout Europe," said Bert Zandhuis, vice president of sales at Sagantec.

David Macdonald, director of Locate in Scotland, a national investment agency, said: "We are very pleased to welcome Sa gantec to Scotland. They join a rapidly expanding community of electronics design companies which have recognized Scotland as a world-class location for system-on-chip development activities."
