Nieuwegein, Netherlands
February 16th 2024

TECHNIA, the Virtual Twin Experts, announced today a new partnership with Marel, a global market leader in advanced solutions for the food processing industry.

Marel is present across 30 countries worldwide and has built a strong reputation over more than 40 years providing advanced systems, software, and services to food processing companies worldwide. For TECHNIA, this partnership represents one of the larger transformation programs in the Benelux region.

Aligning with its growth strategy, Marel aims to ensure uniformity throughout the product lifecycle environment, migrating from legacy PDM systems to 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud. Marel is taking an out-of-the-box approach, which will prepare the business to scale up in the future.

The partnership announced today involves a multiyear engagement with close collaboration between Marel, TECHNIA, and Dassault Systèmes. One of the first steps will be to connect multi-CAD solutions to the platform and set up the R&D processes in 3DEXPERIENCE.

"This new partnership marks the beginning of a close collaboration between Marel, TECHNIA, and Dassault Systèmes. Over the past few months, our teams have worked intensively to lay the groundwork for one of the larger PLM projects in the Benelux region. This multiyear engagement under Marel's Nexus program reflects our commitment to seamless collaboration and innovation, leveraging the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to drive transformative change in the industry."
