Siemens to acquire mendix, a leader in low-code application development, for €0.6 billion

Acquisition to accelerate adoption of MindSphere by ecosystem growth and 10x faster application development

Closing of transaction expected in first quarter of fiscal year 2019

Mendix was named a leader in the Gartner “2018 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise High Productivity Application Platform as a Service”, placing furthest for completeness of vision for the second consecutive year, and a leader in the Gartner “2018 Magic Quadrant for Mobile App Development Platforms” for the second consecutive year.

“When we pioneered the low-code market over a decade ago, we had a bold vision to help customers change the way they build software, but we never imagined the oceanic opportunity that’s now in front of us,” said Derek Roos, co-founder and CEO of mendix. “I’m thrilled to accelerate our vision at a much larger scale with the incredible team, assets, industry know-how and footprint of Siemens behind us. Being part of Siemens will allow us to serve our customers even better by accelerating our R&D vision, adding a much larger pool of go-to-market resources, and leveraging an enormous global infrastructure. And we’ll do this while maintaining our unique culture, brand and R&D capability that has allowed us to become the leader in our space – I can’t think of a better outcome for our customers, community, partners and team.
