Schneider Electric's PTC deal sets up Siemens challenge
Original: PTC acquisition positions Schneider Electric to challenge Siemens
Schneider Electric has moved to acquire software firm PTC, a deal that positions the French electrical equipment maker to compete more directly with Siemens in industrial automation and digital manufacturing software. The acquisition gives Schneider access to PTC's design and product lifecycle tools, strengthening its push into smart factory technology and putting it on a collision course with Siemens' dominant industrial software business.
Why now: The deal reshapes the industrial software market and directly challenges Siemens' leadership.
