Today’s announced acquisition is compelling on multiple fronts, reflecting PDSVISION’s ambitions to take its next expansive operational leap. Backed by its new majority shareholders and newly appointed Chair, Åsa Hedin, the company is positioning itself to become a market player with an even greater global reach than before.
Over 600 Employees in 17 Countries
Oretorp also confirms that the agreement represents a significant expansion of PDSVISION’s presence in the Asia-Pacific region. The combined organization will operate across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, and Japan. This broadens PDSVISION’s global reach alongside its existing operations in Europe, North and South America, and Africa. The expanded footprint establishes a genuinely global digital engineering organization capable of supporting customers regardless of where they design, develop, manufacture, and maintain their products.
With today’s acquisition, PDSVISION now boasts a presence in 17 countries and a team of more than 600 employees worldwide. Presumably, the milestone of 2 billion SEK in total annual revenue is not far off for the rapidly expanding PLM consultancy.
PLM&ERP News has followed PDSVISION ever since Johan Klingvall launched the venture in 2008, and we can confirm that the company enjoys a strong reputation in the market with an excellent track record among its clients. Notable examples in this context include:
- Electrolux Professional: Utilizes PDSVISION to streamline and integrate its global change processes and product lifecycle management (PLM) data, as detailed in the Electrolux Professional Customer Story.
