Notas do Editor
Manufacturing Tech M&A activity has been growing at a steady clip since 2014, with deal count and value reaching its highest levels yet, with the exception of the $4B Invensys deal late 2013. With the growing adoption of IoT, robotics, industrial automation and 3D printing by tech titans in manufacturing, we can expect middle-market M&A to continue driving this trend as strategic acquirers and PE portfolio companies seek to fill their gaps.
Looking at the purchases of the most active buyers gives us insight into the technological trends driving manufacturing today. Over the past fourteen quarters, Dassault has lead in terms of deal volume, with Accenture and Autodesk trailing behind with 4 deals each.
Dassault most recently reinforced their production planning and scheduling abilities by acquiring ORTEMS out of France…
…while Accenture enhanced their machine learning capabilities through the purchase of supply chain analytics consulting firm OPSrules.
Autodesk most notably picked up 3D printing software provider netfabb this time last year, to invest in their potential to 3D print production-grade parts at scale.
A couple weeks ago GE announced their intent to invest a billion and a half to buy not one, but two public additive manufacturing companies: Arcam from Sweden and SLM Solutions out of Germany. This move should help bolster GE’s material science and additive manufacturing capabilities, as they seek to expand their leadership in the area, scale up production, and find new ways to leverage their Predix platform. While these companies will maintain operations in Europe, the fact that GE’s Alabama based manufacturing plant is already poised for sustainably high and long-term additive production of jet engine parts, is another example of cutting edge manufacturing and automation technology enabling a renaissance of sorts in the American manufacturing industry.
he LEAP engine is the new, best-selling engine from CFM International, a 50/50 joint company of GE and Safran Aircraft Engines of France. More than 11,000 LEAP engines are on order with up to 20 fuel nozzles in every engine, thus setting the stage for sustainably high and long-term additive production at GE Aviation’s Auburn, Alabama, manufacturing plant. Production will ramp up to more than 40,000 fuel nozzles using additive by 2020. GE Aviation is also using additive manufacturing to produce components in its most advanced military engines. In the general aviation world, GE is developing the Advanced Turboprop Engine (ATP) for a new Cessna aircraft with a significant portion of the entire en
Over time, we plan to extend the line of additive manufacturing equipment and products.”

…Hexagon brought Forming Technologies into its fold, combining Forming’s Computer aided engineering and automotive sheet metal expertise with their CAM and metrology solutions to better serve automotive customers.
…and Electronics for Imaging shored up their leadership in textile printing through its purchase of Optitex, which provides 2-D and 3-D fashion design and prototyping software for textile brands and manufacturers like UnderArmour.
Rockwell Automation complemented its 2013 purchase of Jacobs Automation with intelligent conveying systems provider, Magnemotion, in a bid to become the leader in the emerging independent cart solutions area.
PTC most recently added to its IoT stack by purchasing Kepware last December, which enables connectivity and data sharing among disparate systems for industries that rely on legacy equipment.
3D systems has been lying dormant since their 2014 purchase of CAD CAM provider Cimatron.
Finally, Supply chain leader E2Open recently acquired big data analytics provider Orchestro, creating an end-to-end demand-driven supply chain network that leverages Point of Sale data to help manufacturers become pro-active in preventing out of stocks and disruptions in the supply chain
In the broader market, buyers have been eagerly snapping up IoT tech to help manufacturers reduce costs, reduce downtime, and even increase quality.
Germany’s KATHREIN picked up one of its partners, automatic identification provider nofilis, allowing the company to sell turnkey solutions that combine KATHREIN’S RFID readers with nofilis’ IoT integration and Track & Trace visualization software.
Stateside, Caterpillar folded M2M Data Corporation’s remote equipment monitoring into its CAT Connect unit, enabling them to deliver high-level operational support to existing customers
Autonomous guided vehicle and software provider NDC was picked up the Dematic Group, allowing them to deploy AGV solutions for storing, moving and retrieving goods.
Yokogawa expanded its advanced solutions in the industrial automation and control field through its acquisition of plant data sharing services provider Industrial Evolution.
In other tech, we saw German high-speed machine vision systems provider Mikrotron get picked up by Italian private equity firm Ambienta as a bolt on to its 2012 purchase of Tatille to create a European leader in machine vision, showing PEs can be just as ambitious as strategic acquirers in this space.
Looking at disclosed valuation multiples, certain patterns start to emerge. On the lower end, contract designers and systems integrators tended to achieve sub 1x multiples while industrial automation controls and CAD/CAM software fare slightly better just under 2x. In the middle range we see a broader range of technologies, with sensor systems providers leading the charge. Companies on the higher end of the spectrum include many predictive analytics companies and other cutting edge tech like robotics, and additive manufacturing companies. These progressively higher multiples reflect buyers’ willingness to splurge to stay on the cutting edge.
