Capgemini to Acquire Piterion to Boost Industrial Digitalisation and PLM Capabilities
The acquisition will allow Capgemini to expand its expertise in managing complex engineering environments and connecting critical manufacturing systems across large organisations.
Capgemini has signed an agreement to acquire German industrial digitalisation specialist Piterion, in a move aimed at strengthening its capabilities in product lifecycle management (PLM) and manufacturing operations for global industrial clients.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, Piterion employs more than 200 specialists and operates subsidiaries in Italy, Tunisia and India. The company works with major clients in sectors such as automotive, aerospace and defense, life sciences and high-tech industries—areas where Capgemini already has a significant presence.
The acquisition will allow Capgemini to expand its expertise in managing complex engineering environments and connecting critical manufacturing systems across large organisations.
Piterion’s PLM and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) capabilities are expected to complement Capgemini’s AI-driven analytics and generative AI offerings, helping companies modernise industrial operations and accelerate digital transformation.
“With its strong German footprint and international delivery capabilities, the acquisition of Piterion will strengthen Capgemini’s global PLM practice, expand our agent-based solution offerings, deepen strategic client relationships, and help accelerate growth – particularly in sectors where product and manufacturing expertise matter most,” Dr Michael Schulte, CEO of Capgemini Engineering and Group Executive Board Member at Capgemini, said.
By combining Piterion’s engineering IT expertise with Capgemini’s cloud and AI technologies, the companies aim to help manufacturers reduce engineering and production costs, improve operational responsiveness and accelerate time-to-market for new products.
“Capgemini’s global scale and breadth of offerings will provide many varied projects and growth opportunities for our team members. We share the core values of Capgemini and are very excited at the prospect of joining the Group," said Ravi Nirankari, Co-Founder of Piterion.
The deal is expected to close in the coming months, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
Following the acquisition, Capgemini plans to integrate Piterion’s engineering capabilities into its broader portfolio of digital engineering and industrial transformation services.
