Sopra Steria Negotiates Acquisition of Digital Product Simulation to Strengthen its PLM Offerings
Sopra Steria announced on Wednesday that it has entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire Digital Product Simulation, a consulting firm specializing in digital engineering and simulation for industrial product development. This acquisition aims to enhance the group's product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions.
A Strategic Acquisition in Simulation and PLM
Sopra Steria is negotiating the acquisition of Digital Product Simulation, founded in 1997 and based in Paris. The firm employs over 115 expert engineers and works with major players in the aerospace, defense, and nuclear sectors. In 2025, its revenue was approximately 12 million euros according to IFRS standards.
The operation is part of Sopra Steria's strategy to offer integrated end-to-end solutions. It aims to deepen the group's simulation capabilities and extend its expertise around the 3DEXPERIENCE solution developed by Dassault Systèmes. This acquisition should also increase the group's presence in a market with high growth potential, particularly in the strategic and sovereign industrial sector.
Timeline and Conditions for Completion
The acquisition is subject to prior consultation with the staff representative bodies, as well as usual approvals and standard conditions applicable to this type of transaction. It is expected to be finalized in the coming months.
Sopra Steria, which had 51,000 employees in nearly 30 countries at the end of 2025, generated a revenue of 5.6 billion euros last year. The group is listed on Euronext Paris, compartment A.
