The Addnode PLM division, following the transaction, will have 620 employees in: Austria, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Slovakia, Norway, UK, Ireland, India, South Africa and the USA. In addition, these countries will represent combined revenues of €100 million (proforma 2017). The division will in early 2019 converge under one single brand.
“SSA and Simuleon, two very successful simulation companies with specialist knowledge, will enable the Addnode PLM division to further extend its position as the knowledge leader, providing superior capabilities and service to our European and international customers. The combination of Intrinsys, TechniaTranscat and SSA/Simuleon will form the clear #1 Dassault Systèmes Value Solution partner with the most extensive experience selling, implementing and supporting the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.” Says Jonas Gejer, President of Addnode PLM division.
“The growth in SSA and Simuleon over the last 10 years has been achieved by focussing the business on SIMULIA high level simulation technologies and how these are applied and supported in customer scenarios. The application of this simulation technology on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform opens up exciting opportunities for our customers and joining the most experienced team in Europe will strengthen our ability to deliver even greater value to our customers and further growth with new clients.
says Laurence Marks, founder and Director of SSA.
“By joining the #1 leaders in PLM, we will be able to address our current and future customer’s needs with unique 3DEXPERIENCE & high-end Simulation knowledge, and at the same time be of added value to the TechniaTranscat Benelux Customers on Simulation perspective,” says Dolf Broekaart, Managing Director of Simuleon.
