The price for the acquisition is stated in the region of $834 million.Īccording to Hexagon, “the acquisition strengthens Hexagon’s ability to connect the traditionally separate stages of design and production – integrating real-world data generated on the production floor with simulation data to further improve a customer’s ability to reveal and correct design limitations and production problems prior to manufacturing.” These are alongside its historical strength in metrology, after it acquired the likes of Brown& Sharp, Leice Geosystems, Romer etc. Hexagon has been on a serious spending spree in the last couple of year, picking up a number of different companies, including Vero (which includes EdgeCAM, Vero’s VISI, AlphaCAM, Peps, Radan, WorkNC, SurfCAM and a few others), Forming Technology Inc (FTI), Intergraph, and Aicon 3D Systems. Hexagon has announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire analysis and simulation legends, MSC Software. 2017’s acquisitions, are off to a big start.
