SimuTech Group’s Investment in ESSS’ Mexican Subsidiary Accelerates Ansys Business Development in Mexico and Central America
Barcelona, December 2, 2024 – ESSS, a multinational leader in the computer simulation market and long-term Ansys Apex Channel Partner in Latin America, Portugal, Spain, and Italy, is thrilled to announce that its Mexican subsidiary is now jointly owned by SimuTech Group, Inc.
SimuTech Group, the largest Ansys Apex Channel Partner in North America, brings over 40 years of experience with Ansys engineering simulation products, support, training, consulting, and physical testing services.
Through this strategic partnership, ESSS and SimuTech Group will focus on building a local team of experts capable of delivering a comprehensive range of modeling, simulation, and testing services to both local and multinational companies in the region. Mario Sofia, ESSS’ CRO, shared, “Our local team in Mexico is poised to leverage the expertise and best practices from both companies. The synergy between these two leading Ansys partners in the Americas will undoubtedly accelerate the growth of the Ansys business in the region.”
Rick James, CEO of SimuTech Group, adds, “We are enthusiastic about this new investment and the opportunity to build our connection with ESSS. This collaboration is a win-win for all parties, including our North American customers with facilities in Mexico. As a key shareholder of ESSS Mexico, SimuTech Group will expand its presence beyond Canada and the United States, playing a strategic role in the development of Ansys business in Mexico and Central America.”
Clovis Maliska Jr., Global CEO of ESSS, remarks, “We are positioning ourselves alongside SimuTech Group to capture the untapped potential of this territory, which we believe will see accelerated growth in the near term.
