Bechtle AG continues to strengthen its position in the European Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) market with the acquisition of Budapest-based EuroSolid Zrt., the largest Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS partner in Hungary. Founded in 2009, EuroSolid employs 31 highly skilled professionals and reported revenue of €3.5 million in the previous financial year. Managing partners Zoltán Wiesler and Csaba Zombor will remain at the helm of the company. By acquiring Hungary’s leading SOLIDWORKS provider EuroSolid, Bechtle is expanding its PLM activities to nine European countries.
EuroSolid has long been a trusted partner to Hungary’s manufacturing industry, serving more than 1,000 customers with integrated solutions in Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), and complementary applications for a range of use cases and sectors. The company also provides extensive training and support services and maintains partnerships with numerous educational institutions across Hungary. Bechtle expects the acquisition to create strong synergies with its PLM companies throughout Europe, particularly in development services and the distribution of partner solutions. “Adding another leading SOLIDWORKS reseller to our fold strengthens our market position in Europe and creates excellent opportunities to further scale our PLM solutions business. In EuroSolid, we are gaining a highly experienced, creative team with outstanding, well-established customer relationships,” says Uwe Burk, Executive Vice President, PLM, Engineering & Manufacturing at Bechtle.
“We’re delighted to start EuroSolid’s next chapter as part of the internationally successful Bechtle Group. By working closely together on partner solutions and development services for our customers, we intend to cement our leading position in Hungary in the long term and contribute to the group’s overall growth,” says Zoltán Wiesler, Managing Director, EuroSolid Zrt.
Managing Director Csaba Zombor adds: “Joining the Bechtle Group provides EuroSolid with a strong and reliable framework to further develop our services, while staying true to what has always defined us: close customer relationships, deep technical expertise, and practical solutions. Our customers will benefit from broader capabilities and international know-how, while continuing to work with the same trusted local team.”
As is customary, both parties have agreed to keep the acquisition price confidential. The acquisition remains subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
