Our history
The company EXTENDE started its activities on January the 1st, 2010.
EXTENDE is the result of a collaboration between CEA LIST, a research center at the top of NDT techniques innovation and the historical developer of the CIVA platform, and CEDRAT, CIVA distributor from 2005 to 2009, whose actions contributed to making CIVA the worldwide leader in NDT simulation software solution.
In August 2011, EXTENDE started EXTENDE Inc., its subsidiary in the U.S.A., in order to get closer to its North-American customers.
