Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced a deal to acquire engineering platform Wevolver, in a move designed to expand its reach within the global engineering community and enhance its Supplyframe Design-to-Source Intelligence (DSI) offering.
The acquisition will see Wevolver’s global audience of hardware and software engineers integrated into the Supplyframe ecosystem, which already engages over 12 million electronics engineering and procurement professionals each month. Siemens acquired Supplyframe in 2021 to strengthen its position in the electronics supply chain intelligence space.
The deal, announced on 5 May, marks a significant expansion in Siemens’ digital marketing and content creation capabilities, with both companies aiming to better support engineers at the critical early stages of product design.
Targeting engineers where innovation begins
“The future of product development starts with smarter design decisions. And that means meeting engineers where innovation begins,” said Steve Flagg, CEO and founder of Supplyframe. “By joining forces with Wevolver, we’re not just expanding our reach; we’re accelerating a new era of design-to-source intelligence that’s collaborative, data-driven and built for the speed of tomorrow’s manufacturing.”
Wevolver’s platform delivers content, practical tools and technology insights across semiconductors, robotics, AI and manufacturing processes. With a strong web and social media presence, the company has built a global audience of engineers seeking the latest in product development and innovation.
Enhancing go-to-market value for manufacturers and distributors
The acquisition is expected to provide Siemens and its customers with deeper engagement opportunities through more targeted digital marketing and integrated campaign programmes. By adding Wevolver’s audience and capabilities, Siemens aims to support manufacturers and distributors in getting cutting-edge technologies in front of engineers at the research stage—where critical sourcing and design decisions are made.
Bram Geenen, CEO of Wevolver, said the combination of platforms creates a stronger proposition for the global engineering ecosystem. “Supplyframe and Wevolver both support engineering professionals throughout their research, development, and supply chain journey. Together we bring an even stronger value proposition to the global technology ecosystem and will be the home for the global engineering community,” he said.
Siemens said the acquisition aligns with its wider Siemens Xcelerator strategy, which combines software, hardware and services to drive digital transformation across industries. Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.
