Barry-Wehmiller International Resources (BWIR), a global provider of business and technology solutions to the manufacturing domain, has announced the signing of an agreement with think3, S.r.l. for the transition of its India-based engineering services division serving the European market. The division will be integrated with BWIR’s engineering services operation in Chennai, India, further expanding the firm’s delivery and execution capabilities to a broad range of clients worldwide.

The agreement provides current and future think3 customers with the opportunity to leverage BWIR’s extensive service offerings and offshore expertise to enhance their competitive advantage in the global marketplace by optimizing the value of their think3 product investments.

“BWIR is uniquely positioned to provide exceptional service and support to think3 customers worldwide,” stated BWIR Managing Partner Vasant Bennett. “Our model of developing long-term customer relationships with dedicated service teams, our proven execution strategy and our global competency combine to create a compelling value proposition, which we believe will prove mutually beneficial to our customers as well as our engineering professionals.”

The agreement with think3 complements BWIR’s pattern of revenue growth of 40 percent compounded annually, while strengthening its growing presence in the European market.

With a record of innovation spanning 30 years, think3 has emerged as one of the most significant global players in the CAD and PLM market, with operations in the U.S., Italy, Germany, France, Japan and China. In addition to the transition of think3 engineering services, the agreement designates BWIR as a global implementation provider for think3’s PLM product solutions, adding a new dimension to the evolving partnership between the two companies.

“BWIR’s proven engineering services and PLM implementation capabilities, complemented by the complete suite of think3 products, will enable BWIR to expand its ability to offer world-class engineering solutions to a diverse client base that already includes a variety of mid-market and Fortune 500 companies around the globe,” explained BWIR Senior Partner Senthilkumar Deivasigamany.
