Dassault Systemes to Acquire Quintiq

7/29/2014

Dassault Systemes announces the signing of a definitive share purchase agreement for Dassault Systmes to acquire Quintiq, a provider of on-premise and on-cloud supply chain and Operations Planning & Optimization software, for approximately €250 million. With 800 employees, Quintiq, whose offerings include production, logistics and workforce planning applications, are used today by 250 customers, at 1,000 sites, in more than 90 countries.

The acquisition of Quintiq, headquartered in The Netherlands, extends Dassault Systmes’ 3DExperience platform to business operations planning and further enables its longtime goal of harmonizing product, nature and life.


Quintiq solutions are also used to help plan and schedule complex production supply chains at such manufacturers as Novelis, ASML, Lafarge, AkzoNobel, and ArcelorMittal. They also help to plan and optimize some of the most complex logistics operations, including DHL, Walmart, DB Schenker and TNT.

Quintiq is enabling full operations planning at Brussels Airport, KLM, Canadian National and the Federal Aviation Administration. Quintiq is differentiated by leading optimization technology; a platform approach to covering long-term strategic to day-of-operational planning; and capabilities which go beyond supply chain to encompass full operations planning and optimization.

Quintiq is expected to expand Dassault Systmes’ DELMIA brand, adding the new product line of Operations Planning and Optimization to the existing ones of Digital Manufacturing and Manufacturing Operations Management. Quintiq provides a new reach into industries such as metals, mining, oil & gas, rail, delivery and freight.

Dassault Systemes B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dassault Systmes, and the shareholders of Quintiq have entered into a definitive share purchase agreement on July 23, 2014. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust clearances in Germany and Austria.
