GoEngineer has acquired Latin America's leading SOLIDWORKS reseller.
SKA will now operate as a GoEngineer company, extending the American firm's presence into Latin America and strengthening its capabilities across manufacturing software, shop-floor technologies, automation, and product development.
Founded in 1989 and headquartered in São Leopoldo, Brazil, SKA serves thousands of customers across 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, GoEngineer says, expands its ability to support customers across the full product lifecycle – from design and engineering through production and factory-floor operations.
This acquisition follows GoEngineer's 2025 expansion into Canada and represents the company’s first presence in Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere.
"GoEngineer has spent more than 40 years building something that no other organisation 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," said Justin Winter, CEO, GoEngineer. "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. This is a statement about what GoEngineer is becoming: the global standard for what an engineering solutions partner should be."
"This is a strategic step that launches SKA into a new era of growth and internationalisation without sacrificing our DNA. We keep our team, our culture, and our commitment to the development of Brazilian industry," added Siegfried Koelln, CEO, SKA. "The connection with GoEngineer expands our vision of the future and strengthens our capacity to accelerate delivery and generate value for our customers."
