Founded in Paris by Dr. Marcus Neumann in 2002 Avant-garde Materials Simulation SARL (AMS) is privately owned and was created with funding and strong support from a major pharmaceutical company. The company’s main goal is the development of software for crystal structure prediction (GRACE initiative).

In 2007 AMS opened a subsidiary, Avant-garde Materials Simulation Deutschland GmbH, in Freiburg, Germany, where all contract research is carried out by our Team.
