Oxford-based OnePLM (www.oneplm.com) has acquired Cambridgeshire-based TEAM Engineering Ltd , merging the UK’s two largest Siemens Digital Industries software partners, which together serve thousands of clients in a wide range of industries in the UK and Ireland.

OnePLM CEO Allan Blackwell said: “Encouraged by the continued success of the merger of Cutting Edge Solutions and
Majenta PLM to form OnePLM, the joining of Team Engineering into this enterprise makes perfect sense.

“Extra capabilities and services based around the Siemens software portfolio will become available to the client base of both companies.”

Steven Kane, TEAM Engineering’s managing director, said: “This merger with OnePLM is an obvious next step for both businesses.

“We have been exploring ways to expand our footprint at TEAM in our product offering from Siemens, as well as being able to provide technical support and assistance to the wider Siemens Client Community.

“This merger allows us to do both and have an immediate positive impact for all concerned. Our technical strengths as businesses are complimentary to each other.”

Nick Farrall, UK indirect sales director for Siemens Industry Software Ltd, said: “OnePLM is Siemens’ largest UK PLM partner, with responsibility for looking after most of our UK customers.

“TEAM Engineering has been a partner of Siemens since 1997 and is known for managing many of our most technically complex NX and Teamcenter customers.

“The acquisition will increase OnePLM’s consulting, support and customer service resource and provide all customers with an increased pool of expertise to draw on.”
