Auvesy and MDT Software announce the creation of Auvesy-MDT, a leader in industrial automation software. Hg, a leading software and services investor, invested in both Auvesy and MDT Software earlier in 2021. Recognising the high quality and complementary solutions provided by both companies, Auvesy and MDT Software have come together, positioning the business as a global leader to support the industrial sector’s rapid digitalization. Auvesy-MDT moves forward with a joint product roadmap and under one brand. Auvesy-MDT now serves more than 2,500 leading manufacturers across more than 50 countries. The companies’ Never Stand Still mission is to ensure that customers around the world experience less down time in their production.

Combining Auvesy and MDT Software brings together 47 years of expertise and experience in industrial automation, complementary geographic coverage in Europe and North America, and aligns distribution efforts to deliver high-quality solutions to an even larger number of customers. The combination will also enable Auvesy-MDT to leverage future product investments and accelerate innovations, combining features and device libraries and the transition to a subscription model. Dr. Tim Weckerle, CEO of Auvesy-MDT: “Today’s announcement signals the best of both worlds for our employees, our customers and our future. We decided on a name that would stay true to the trust and heritage that has been hard-earned by both businesses over the last few decades.
