ESSS Mexico, a strategic partnership between ESSS and SimuTech Group, has expanded its Ansys Channel Partner territory with the acquisition of GrupoSSC’s simulation resale and support business. The expansion strengthens the regional presence of Synopsys’ engineering simulation sales and services across Mexico and Central America. With the integration of GrupoSSC’s Ansys Channel Partner simulation resale and support operations into ESSS Mexico, the combined organization will bring together a larger team of multiphysics experts dedicated to accelerating digital engineering adoption throughout the region. The move positions ESSS Mexico as the leading Ansys Channel Partner in Mexico and Central America, while reinforcing ESSS’s broader leadership across Latin America.

Fernando Balderas, General Manager of GrupoSSC, said the transition represents a powerful opportunity for customers and industry alike.
With the support of the GrupoSSC Ansys team, ESSS Mexico is now well-positioned to drive transformative advancements in simulation technology—empowering companies and industries across the region with state-of-the-art engineering solutions and a world-class technical team. This transition represents a win-win for all parties, including our customers.”

Mario Sofia, General Manager of ESSS, emphasized the strategic alignment and cultural synergy behind the acquisition.
“We are confident that the synergy between our teams and our shared business culture will create significant value—not only for the market, but also for our combined organization and our partner Synopsys. This is a key step in our international expansion strategy.”

Katie Lally, CEO & Owner of SimuTech Group, highlighted the broader ecosystem impact and long-term growth opportunity.
“We are excited about this opportunity to expand our partnership with ESSS. This strategic move significantly strengthens ESSS’s presence in Mexico and Central America. With this acquisition, ESSS Mexico will become the leading Ansys Channel Partner in the region, further consolidating ESSS’s leadership across Latin America within the Ansys simulation ecosystem. We thank our customers for their continued trust as we embark on this exciting new chapter together.”

GrupoSSC, a technology transfer leader in Simulation-Based Engineering Science (SBES) for more than 35 years, will continue operating independently with its existing partners and customers. Moving forward, the company will focus on training and educational services aimed at developing the next generation of engineers driving Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT).

This milestone underscores the continued evolution of the engineering software landscape across Latin America, where integrated simulation capabilities are increasingly critical to enabling innovation, digital transformation, and competitive advantage.
