Shareholder Partners

Granta Design's shareholders are its founders, employees, and two organizations that have made strategic investments in our company.

The University of Cambridge

Cambridge University is a founding shareholder in Granta Design. We work closely with researchers in the University Engineering Department on new engineering databases and product concepts, and there is a frequent exchange and interaction with PhD students and at post-doc level. The ProcessUniverse, Joining, Surface Treatment, and Eco-Selector databases are examples of this work.

ASM International

ASM International, the world's largest professional society for materials engineering, made a $1.6 million investment in Granta Design in May 2000 and signed a further five-year strategic agreement with Granta in 2006. Based on ASM's huge pool of materials information content, such as the 20-volume ASM Handbook, and Granta's software, the partners are working towards a definitive electronic information system for materials and processes for manufacturing enterprises.

ASM's Alloy Center Online, Handbooks Online, and Materials for Medical Devices Database are all powered by Granta software.
