PathEngine is a privately held company located in Lyon, France.

Ethos

PathEngine's ethos evolved out of a tradition of successful in-house and contract solutions. We use a middleware business model to solve problems that are hard to solve in the context of in-house or contract work.
In fact, the PathEngine SDK is designed from the ground up to solve problems that all-too-often only become clear late in the development process. To do this requires something of a leap in the sophistication and quality of the pathfinding techniques used.
The middleware business model enabled us to make this leap and ensures that we can continue to drive the quality of our solution forwards.
