• Bechtle PLM expands European footprint

Neckarsulm/Bologna, 07/10/2025 – In Nuovamacut Automazione S.p.A., Bechtle has acquired the leading Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS partner in the Mediterranean region. Founded in 1955, the company is headquartered in the Italian city of Bologna with seven other sites in the country’s most economically dynamic regions—Milan, Turin, Brescia, Padua, Vado Ligure, Pesaro and Rome. Nuovamacut employs 149 people and generated revenues of €63 million in the past financial year. A specialist in CAD and PLM, the company is the market leader in Italy, serving approximately 5,000 customers—primarily SMEs in the manufacturing sector. Alongside many years of experience in its field, it also boasts CPE Platinum certification across the entire Dassault Systèmes portfolio. As the only Tier-1 SOLIDWORKS partner in Italy, Nuovamacut ranks among the top three in Europe and the top ten worldwide, helping its customers streamline development processes, optimise workflows, and significantly accelerate time-to-market for new products with a comprehensive portfolio of end-to-end solutions for 3D design, simulation, documentation, manufacturing, and PLM automation. Bechtle is acquiring the company from Italian software group, TeamSystem. Nuovamacut’s experienced management team will remain in place under the continued leadership of Sauro Lamberti.

“With this acquisition, we are significantly strengthening our position in the European PLM market. We are proud to have gained such a highly qualified and experienced team with long-standing customer relationships for Bechtle PLM. We see considerable potential for synergies within the Bechtle Group, and are particularly strengthening our partnerships with Dassault Systèmes and, in the area of 3D printing, with HP,” says Uwe Burk, Executive Vice President, PLM, Engineering & Manufacturing at Bechtle. Notably, the company holds Dassault Systèmes’ Customer Process Experience (CPE) Platinum Partner certification and, in addition to its market-leading expertise in SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD solutions, Nuovamacut brings extensive and in-depth experience with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and its applications—CATIA, SIMULIA, DELMIA and ENOVIA. This close integration of design and production enables shorter development cycles, cost reductions and faster innovation—all strategic benefits for industries such as aerospace, automotive and other material-intensive sectors.

“We are delighted to be entering a new phase of growth with Bechtle. Together, we offer a robust portfolio and a unique network of expertise that will give our customers a competitive edge on the international stage. We are highly motivated to actively shape the future of our market,” says Sauro Lamberti, CEO of Nuovamacut, who has held various roles at the company for nearly 25 years.

TeamSystem’s decision to sell Nuovamacut to Bechtle is driven by a strategic focus on its core business areas. The sale price is to remain confidential as is customary. The acquisition remains subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
