Siemens Acquired Supplyframe

Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire Supplyframe, a leading Design-to-Source platform for the global electronics value chain, for USD 0.7 billion. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions and is expected in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021.

The transaction unlocks significant value for customers of Supplyframe and Siemens, providing seamless and quick access to both Siemens’ offerings and Supplyframe’s marketplace intelligence. This will help customers to reduce costs, increase agility and make highly informed decisions. The acquisition also strengthens the Siemens portfolio through Software as a Service (SaaS), not only in the field of Electronic Design Automation and Printed Circuit Boards, but also scaling into other domains and technology fields.

"We are very pleased to welcome Supplyframe’s highly innovative and talented team to the Siemens family. Supplyframe will be the nucleus to accelerate our overall digital marketplace strategy,“ said Cedrik Neike, member of the Managing Board of Siemens. "Supplyframe’s ecosystem and marketplace intelligence complements our industrial software portfolio perfectly and strengthens our capabilities for the growing market of small- and mid-size customers.“

Supplyframe has created a strong Design-to-Source Intelligence ecosystem with over 10 million engineering and supply chain professionals worldwide, transforming how businesses design, source, market and sell products in the global electronics value chain. Supplyframe’s SaaS offerings have been growing with ca. 40% p.a. over the last years, a rate that is expected to continue mid-term.
