Cadmes expands into France

Bechtle PLM specialist opens new location close to Paris
Business activities grow beyond Benelux
Bechtle Group cements European market position

Neckarsulm, 13 March 2023 – Bechtle PLM specialist Cadmes has extended its international presence and entered the French market. Headquartered in the Dutch city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch with sites around the Netherlands and Belgium, Cadmes joined the Bechtle fold in 2021 and will now also be located under the same roof as Bechtle subsidiary Inmac Wstore in Roissy-en-France close to Paris. Cadmes is the largest partner for Dassault Systèmes’ holistic product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions in the Benelux region.

The expansion into France is the logical next step in the growth strategy of the company founded in 1991. “We’re very pleased to be able to open a location in France,” says Cadmes Managing Director, Anoek Schellings. “The flexibility and agility of the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform support our customers in the industrial sector on their path towards digital transformation and help them react to the challenges in the market that go far beyond product design.”

For this foray into the French market, Cadmes can fall back on many years of experience in French-speaking Belgium. “Our international, multi-lingual culture combined with our excellent partnerships with industry customers in Belgium will be of huge benefit to us in building and expanding our business in France,” says Olivier Clevers, Business Unit Manager for Belgium, Luxembourg and France at Cadmes.

Cadmes has extensive experience along the entire manufacturing supply chain with its over 100 employees providing close to 5,000 customers solutions in the fields of PLM, CAD, CAE, CAM and PDM with brands such as 3DEXPERIENCE, SOLIDWORKS, Mastercam, Driveworks and Cimatron.

“I’m delighted that Cadmes will now be offering its outstanding consulting and services to French businesses. With its in-depth knowledge of SOLIDWORKS and proven expertise in the wider Dassault Systèmes portfolio, Cadmes will be supporting French companies of all sizes in implementing premium CAD/CAM/PLM solutions,” explains Uwe Burk, Executive Vice President, PLM, Engineering & Manufacturing, Bechtle AG.

With PLM system houses now located in six European countries, Bechtle is one of the leading European partners of software manufacturer Dassault Systèmes. The Bechtle Group is represented in the German market by DPS, Solidline, Solidpro, Coffee and HCV Data, in Austria by planetsoftware and in Switzerland by Solid Solutions. Together with Cadmes, the specialist CAD/CAM and PLM subsidiaries employ some 900 staff.
