Acquires All Rights

To Autokon Systems

Kockums Computer Systems AB of Malmo, Sweden, recently ac- quired all rights to Autokon Sys- tems from Autokon Cim Systems A/

S in Oslo, Norway.

For more than 10 years, Kockums

Computer Systems has marketed and installed their CAD/CAM sys- tem, Steerbear, for the shipbuilding and offshore industries, mainly in

Europe. Autokon Cim has marketed and installed their Autokon Sys- tems worldwide to the same indus- tries. Sales and marketing of the
