About CENIT Aktiengesellschaft

CENIT Aktiengesellschaft is a German technology group listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) in Germany, focused on IT consulting, software integration and digital transformation services for industrial clients. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Stuttgart, CENIT built its reputation in computer-aided design and product lifecycle management (PLM) before expanding into Enterprise Information Management (EIM), managed services and proprietary software. Its business model is that of a high-value systems integrator that supports customers across the full digital value chain, from product development and manufacturing to information governance and process automation. The company’s portfolio is anchored in three main pillars. First, PLM solutions built around the Dassault Systèmes and SAP ecosystems, where CENIT provides consulting, implementation, add-ons and operational services. Second, EIM offerings, including document management, analytics and information-process automation, strengthened by specialized subsidiaries. Third, CENIT’s own software solutions, including FASTSUITE, which address virtual validation, digital manufacturing and industrial process optimization. The group also emphasizes migration projects, cloud architectures and managed services, which help improve revenue quality and support recurring business. From a competitive standpoint, CENIT benefits from long-standing strategic partnerships with Dassault Systèmes, SAP and IBM. These alliances reinforce its technical credibility and market access, while positioning the group as a trusted partner for complex digitalization programs. CENIT is particularly exposed to manufacturing, automotive and aerospace customers, but it also serves companies in adjacent sectors that require advanced PLM and enterprise information workflows. The group states that it operates through roughly 900 specialists across 29 locations in nine countries, giving it a broad European footprint with selected international reach. Recent developments point to a company in transition. In 2025, CENIT reported its strongest half-year revenue in corporate history and then closed fiscal 2025 with EUR 209.5 million in revenue and EUR 12.3 million in EBITDA, while guiding toward a significant EBITDA improvement in 2026. The leadership team also changed materially: Martin Thiel was appointed CEO effective May 1, 2026, while Dr. Johannes Fues joined as CFO and CTrO in July 2025. In March 2026, CENIT announced plans to move its listing from the Regulated Market/Prime Standard to the Scale segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, reflecting a strategic intent to reduce regulatory and administrative burden while preserving capital-market presence in Germany.
