Hexagon acquires NESTIX Oy, a leading provider of data-centric software solutions for managing and optimising steel fabrication

Hexagon AB, a leading global provider of information technologies that drive
productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial enterprise
applications, today announced the acquisition of NESTIX Oy, a developer of
production control solutions for the fabrication of pipes and structures used in
heavy industry construction (e.g. skyscrapers, large dams, ships, and offshore
facilities).

Founded in 1982 and based in Oulu, Finland, NESTIX has been meeting the needs of
major steel service centers, shipyards, offshore yards, pipe fabricators,
mechanical engineering companies and the steel construction industry for more
than 30 years. Its software portfolio is used to control manufacturing and
assembly in order to improve production, optimise machine and personnel
utilisation, and minimise material waste – while improving the quality of the
fabricated parts.

NESTIX has a direct sales presence in the Nordic region, a strong partner
network, and a skilled and experienced staff with in-depth fabrication and
manufacturing knowledge. With over 500 customers in 40 countries, and more than
8,000 professionals using its software daily, tens of millions of parts are made
using NESTIX software every year.

“NESTIX technology is already a key component of our Intergraph Smart™ Yard
offering, which is sold through our Process, Power and Marine (PP&M) business,”
said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén. “This acquisition will enable us to
integrate the full suite of NESTIX capabilities into our PP&M portfolio,
strengthening our position in the industrial fabrication market while offering
clients a more comprehensive solution for their pipe and steel production
management.”

NESTIX will be fully consolidated as of today. The acquisition has no
significant impact on Hexagon's earnings.
