Eight years ago, we started MaintainX with the conviction that the people who keep the physical world running deserve software worthy of the work they do. Today, more than 14,000 organizations use MaintainX to do that important work. We're deeply proud of what we've built — and even prouder of who we've built it with.
Today, we're taking the next step on that journey. MaintainX has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Autodesk.
We chose this path because it accelerates what we set out to do.
What it means for the mission
Autodesk has spent over four decades being the company that the physical world is built with — how buildings get designed, how equipment gets engineered, how factories get laid out. What's been missing from that picture is asset operations: the long, consequential life of an asset after it's been built. That's where our customers live. That's the work MaintainX exists to support.
Bringing design, make, and operate together is the foundation for AI in the physical world that actually works — because real intelligence requires real context. Together, we can deliver that for the people who run the most important assets in the economy. This is the mission, made bigger.
What it means for our customers
To our customers: Thank you. You are the reason any of this is possible, and we believe that joining forces with Autodesk enables us to deliver more for you. More investment in the product you rely on every day. A deeper, faster roadmap. Capabilities that connect what happens on your frontline to the design and engineering data that defines the assets you operate — closing a loop the industry has been trying to close for a generation. And a serious, durable commitment to AI in the physical world.
Our promise to you is that we will continue to build software worthy of the work you do. The ambition gets bigger today. And the team you’ve come to trust is the same team that will deliver it.
The best chapter is the one we're about to write. Let’s build.
