CM Labs Simulations Acquires GlobalSim

CM Labs Simulations is looking to strengthen the future of workforce development through its acquisition of GlobalSim, a Utah-based developer of advanced training simulators. The company explained this joining of forces reflects a shared vision for the future of simulation-based training. It also reinforces CM Labs’ position as one of the most trusted and innovative providers in the industry.

According to the press release, the acquisition combines GlobalSim’s deep market knowledge with CM Labs technology and expertise. This pairing allows customers to gain access to a comprehensive suite of next-generation simulation-based training products that increase workforce readiness, safety and productivity and lower training costs.

“This is a natural evolution for two organizations that have decades of proven safety, precision, and performance outcomes in port operations,” said Robert Weldon, CEO of CM Labs. “CM Labs and GlobalSim are uniting to deliver unmatched quality, value and support to our port customers worldwide.”

Another benefit of the acquisition includes CM Labs expanding its US presence with the addition of GlobalSim’s Salt Lake City, Utah, location. This increases the company’s manufacturing resources to reinforce its commitment to excellence when serving and supporting clients.

“GlobalSim and CM Labs have pushed each other to innovate for nearly two decades,” said Brad Ball, VP of sales & marketing for GlobalSim. “Joining forces allows us to combine the very best technology, engineering talent and industry expertise from both organizations. Our teams share a commitment to excellence, and together we will deliver training systems that lead the simulation industry for many years to come.”
