Following the acquisition, Ansible Motion founders Kia Cammaerts and Robert Stevens will remain at Ansible Motion as the Technical Director and Chief Engineer, respectively.
Dan Clark, Managing Director of AB Simulation, states:
We are delighted to welcome Ansible Motion onboard. It is a well-established, successful business that has an outstanding reputation for driving simulator solutions. Ansible Motion’s product offering complements our own range and creates a comprehensive family of simulator solutions. We are now positioned to be market leaders in the sector.
