As of December 2015, it employs 2,606 people across 13 global delivery locations in the US, France, Germany, Romania, India and China. HCL will inherit several unique Geometric processes, methodologies and intellectual properties in PLM and digital manufacturing, along with highly specialized professionals in the PLM consulting as well as mechanical and manufacturing engineering space. The transaction thus creates a unique portfolio of end-to-end engineering and R&D capabilities across the full product lifecycle - hardware, software, mechanical & manufacturing engineering and PLM consulting.
