\n MAIT\u2019s history dates back to 1957. Origi\u00adnally an office orga\u00adniza\u00adtion company, it initi\u00adally deve\u00adlo\u00adped into a system house before beco\u00adming an end-to-end digi\u00adta\u00adliza\u00adtion part\u00adner for the manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adring indus\u00adtry with its head\u00adquar\u00adters in Rott\u00adweil.

From there, around 900 employees support around 7,000 custo\u00admers. Most of these are medium-sized manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adring companies. <\/p>\n

\n Accor\u00adding to indus\u00adtry analy\u00adses, the market for PLM services will grow by nine to twelve percent annu\u00adally until 2030; pene\u00adtra\u00adtion in medium-sized mecha\u00adni\u00adcal and plant engi\u00adnee\u00adring compa\u00adnies is only around 50 percent. Driven by cost pres\u00adsure, regu\u00adla\u00adtory requi\u00adre\u00adments and shorter deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment cycles, demand is rising conti\u00adnuously. Thanks to long-stan\u00adding part\u00adner\u00adships with market-leading tech\u00adno\u00adlogy part\u00adners and a proven buy-and-build stra\u00adtegy \u2014 24 successfully inte\u00adgra\u00adted acqui\u00adsi\u00adti\u00adons to date \u2014 MAIT is excel\u00adlently posi\u00adtio\u00adned to bene\u00adfit from this trend. <\/p>\n
