History
SPRUT Technology, LTD. was founded in 1987 by Alexander Kharadziev, who recruited a team of engineers to build a company for developing CAx software, with its headquarters at Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia, and released its own product, SprutCAM, in 1997. This is one of the oldest Russian developers of PC-based  CAx software.
