Company: Velotic — Industrial Connectivity & Manufacturing Software
About Velotic
This newly formed company, formed through a landmark double carve out and merger led by TPG, will be the largest independent manufacturing automation software company globally.

The merger brings together synergistic, best in class solutions into a dedicated home where manufacturing software is not a business unit, but the central strategy. Operating at scale with over $350M in revenue and a strong 30% EBITDA margin, the company combines the stability of established market leaders with the nimble, innovation first mindset of a high growth technology firm.
