Emixa Expands Siemens-Focused PLM Powerhouse into the Nordics with the NEXTAGE Group Acquisition

TAPIO JUURAKKO, CEO of Nextage: "EMIXA's technology portfolio and international experience provide great value for our customers."
Dutch PLM and integration consultant Emixa is acquiring Nordic PLM consultant in the Siemens sphere, Nextage Group, with 34 employees, revenues of just over $7 million, and Sweden, Denmark, and Finland as main markets. No purchase price was disclosed.
The significantly larger Emixa, with 530 employees and owned by private equity firm Holland Capital, is, like Nextage, specialized in solutions for design, manufacturing, and simulation, with a focus on Siemens Digital Industries Software's "arsenal" in the Xcelerator portfolio. Emixa works primarily with the full spectrum of Siemens software: The Teamcenter platform as the PLM backbone, CAD design in NX and Solid Edge, simulation in the Simcenter suite, Polarion on the ALM and software management side, and Tecnomatics for digital manufacturing. But it also uses technologies such as SAP ERP, the low-code platform Mendix, and Boomi integration.
Nextage also builds its business on Siemens software, around which it has created an interesting solution, NVP, a standardized PLM platform built on Siemens Teamcenter, "best practices", and deep PLM experience. A strong point is the record-breaking fast implementation. "Users can be up and running in ten days, including tools for CAD management, product structures, and document management," PLM&ERP News stated in an article a few years ago.
Emixa has a background that isn’t uncommon in the PLM consulting industry, where consolidations among the major PLM developers' partner side have been a hallmark of the past half-decade. The company is described in the press material as a digital transformation actor and was formed through the acquisition and rebranding of several specialized companies, starting with Holland Capital's acquisition of Magnus Digital in 2020. By 2021, PLM Solutions and Dimensys had merged, and the three companies merged to form Emixa. In the following years, Emixa continued to grow through further acquisitions, including Appronto and OnePLM, all to sharpen its PLM, low-code, and integration expertise. In 2024-2025, the group was rebranded under the name Emixa, unified its ID, and continued its expansion, especially in Eastern Europe.
With today's announcement of Emixa's acquisition, the company is expanding into the Nordic market, marking an important milestone in Emixa's European expansion.
“An exciting next step for Nextage and our customers. We have built a solid foundation in the Nordics, and with Emixa’s complementary technology portfolio and international experience, we can offer even more value and capacity to our customers,” says Tapio Juurakko (pictured), CEO, founder, and owner of Nextage Group.
“A deal based on Siemens technology that accelerates the digital transformation in Nordic industry,” says Siemens Digital Industries Software’s Nordic chief, Zandra Nilsson.

In the press material, Nextage says that the announced deal is, “a transformative step for Nordic manufacturers, but also enables full support for the digital transformation lifecycle for both regional and international manufacturing customers.”

Siemens Digital Industries Software’s head of the Nordic operations, Zandra Nilsson (pictured to the left), VP and CEO, agrees and points out that the deal will have major positive effects in the region:

”I am really pleased to see Nextage become part of Emixa. Both organizations have consistently demonstrated a strong commitment to customer success, technical excellence and a deep understanding of the Nordic manufacturing landscape. With Emixa’s scale and Nextage’s proven local presence, this new combined team will accelerate the digital transformation of Nordic industry with Siemens technology as a foundation. I’m looking forward to work closely with the expanded Emixa Nordics team.”

Strengthens Emixa’s European presence
A general conclusion is that this acquisition supports Emixa’s strategic vision to create Europe’s leading digital thread and digital transformation consultancy. With strong positions already in Benelux, DACH and the UK and Ireland, Emixa now adds a fully operational presence in the Nordics – a region known for innovation and advanced manufacturing.

Peter-Jan Simons, CEO of Emixa, says in a comment:
”This acquisition marks a new chapter for Emixa a. Nextage brings deep industry knowledge and strong, trusted customer relationships. By bringing in Nextage, we are creating a Nordic powerhouse that combines local expertise with international scale. Most importantly, we welcome new colleagues whose talent and commitment will strengthen our shared vision. Together, we are ready to help Nordic manufacturers accelerate their digital future.”
