(GoEngineer: Salt Lake City) -- GoEngineer, the world’s largest full-service engineering solutions provider and premier authorized partner for Dassault Systèmes, Stratasys, Bright Laser Technologies, and other leading technology vendors, announced the acquisition of SKA, Latin America’s leading SOLIDWORKS and engineering technology reseller. SKA will operate as SKA, a GoEngineer company. The acquisition extends GoEngineer’s presence into Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere while strengthening its capabilities in manufacturing software, shop-floor technologies, automation, and product development.

Founded in 1989 and headquartered in São Leopoldo, Brazil, SKA serves thousands of customers in manufacturing, aerospace, medical, and industrial end markets. In addition to its leadership position in SOLIDWORKS, SKA brings meaningful capabilities in manufacturing execution systems (MES), machining automation, sheet metal, additive manufacturing, and engineering workflow integrations.

The acquisition expands GoEngineer’s ability to support its customers throughout the full product life cycle, from design and engineering through production and factory-floor operations. It also extends its technical expertise and customer support capabilities throughout the Americas, further reinforcing its role as the leading engineering partner to its customers. This acquisition follows GoEngineer’s 2025 expansion into Canada and represents the company’s first presence in Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere. The transaction is a reflection of the growing global demand for the kind of deep, full-service engineering partnership that GoEngineer has built.

Justin Winter, GoEngineer CEO, says, “GoEngineer has spent more than 40 years building something that no other organization in this space has: the certified experts, the training infrastructure, the additive manufacturing capability, the proprietary customer technology, and the innovation capacity to be a true global end-to-end engineering solutions partner. Bringing SKA into the GoEngineer family means that engineers and manufacturers in Brazil and throughout Latin America will now have access to that same world-class experience.”

What differentiates GoEngineer extends beyond the breadth of its vendor portfolio. As a full-service engineering solutions partner, the company combines best-in-class software and hardware from more than a dozen leading technology vendors with significant in-house technical capabilities, including hundreds of certified specialists; a national training infrastructure spanning classroom, online, and onsite delivery; and an additive manufacturing services bureau operating in FDM, PolyJet, SLA, SLS, and metal 3D printing technologies.

SKA brings a complementary set of solutions and profile of excellence to the combined organization. SKA’s management team and local culture will remain fully intact as the business operates as SKA, ensuring continuity for customers and partners throughout Brazil.

Siegfried Koelln, CEO of SKA, says, “This is a strategic step that launches SKA into a new era of growth and internationalization without sacrificing our DNA. We keep our team, our culture, and our commitment to the development of Brazilian industry. The connection with GoEngineer expands our vision of the future and strengthens our capacity to accelerate delivery and generate value for our customers.”

The combination of GoEngineer and SKA creates a powerful resource for engineering professionals across the Americas. Customers gain access to GoEngineer’s expanded offerings and technical depth, while multinational manufacturers benefit from coordinated support delivered by two aligned partners in North and South America.
