PacifiCAD Sells Autodesk Manufacturing, Plant Business Assets to D3 Technologies



PacifiCAD Inc., an Autodesk solutions and services provider for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) and manufacturing, has sold its Autodesk manufacturing and plant business assets to D3 Technologies, a provider of Autodesk manufacturing solutions based in Springfield, MO. PacifiCAD will continue to own and operate its Autodesk AEC business and continue to grow its software and service offerings.

With this acquisition, D3 will now serve the Central U.S., Gulf Coast, Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions with Autodesk manufacturing and process plant solutions, coupled with a team of engineering, design, simulation, process automation and programming professionals. D3's team can also partner with other Autodesk partners to provide services and support for products such as Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Inventor ETO, Autodesk Plant, AutoCAD P&ID, CAM, Simulation, Autodesk Vault, Data Management and AutoCAD Electrical.

"We are excited for PacifiCAD's Autodesk manufacturing customers," said Ron Reed, CEO of PacifiCAD. "They will all benefit from D3's focus on Autodesk manufacturing and plant solutions and the level of customer service, support, training and consulting services that D3 brings to the table for manufacturing companies. I am also very excited about the strategic partnership PacifiCAD and D3 are forming."

"We started with strategic partnership conversations," stated Kevin Schlack, President of D3, of the firms' preliminary discussions, "then ultimately, we realized there were tremendous synergies between our companies. Our acquiring their Autodesk manufacturing and plant business, along with continuing to work together as strategic partners, supports our founding purpose: to field a passionate team of experts to help our manufacturing customers be the absolute best at what they do. As our professional services and consulting team continues to grow, we always focus on the customer first and foremost."

"Congratulations to D3 on the acquisition," said Ray Savona, Vice President, Americas Sales at Autodesk. "We expect the expanded D3 team to provide its proven recipe for customer success to a larger industry base. This is an exciting time for Autodesk manufacturing customers in the Northwest."
