SOLIZE PARTNERS and Dassault Systèmes Form Partnership to Accelerate Digital Transformation in Manufacturing

TOKYO, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SOLIZE PARTNERS Corporation and Dassault Systèmes in Japan have entered into a 'Consulting & System Integration Partner Program' agreement to help manufacturers accelerate digital transformation, improve operational efficiency and drive innovation.

The agreement was formally signed in Tokyo by Yusuke Inoue, President of SOLIZE PARTNERS Corporation; Philippe Godbout, Managing Director, Japan, Dassault Systèmes; and Mahadevan V. S., CEO & Director of SOLIZE PARTNERS India, marking a new chapter in the long-standing collaboration between the SOLIZE Group and Dassault Systèmes.

As a partner in Japan, SOLIZE PARTNERS will combine its engineering and manufacturing expertise with Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform to support customers across the product lifecycle—from design and engineering to manufacturing—enabling faster development, improved quality, reduced costs and greater collaboration.

For more than 35 years, SOLIZE PARTNERS has helped manufacturers solve complex engineering challenges through engineering services, digital technologies and additive manufacturing. Founded in 1981, Dassault Systèmes provides a portfolio of solutions for industries in the manufacturing, life sciences and healthcare and infrastructure and cities sectors. The company's 3DEXPERIENCE platform integrates capabilities for 3D modeling, simulation, collaboration and data intelligence. 

The partnership addresses a growing industry challenge: while manufacturers continue investing in digital technologies, many struggle to maximize value due to disconnected engineering data and the loss of critical product development knowledge. Together, SOLIZE PARTNERS and Dassault Systèmes will help organizations integrate engineering and business data, improve knowledge utilization and create connected digital engineering environments that enable faster, better-informed decision-making.

The agreement also builds on the SOLIZE Group's long-standing relationship with Dassault Systèmes in India. For more than 25 years, SOLIZE PARTNERS India Pvt. Ltd has delivered consulting, implementation and support services across the Dassault Systèmes portfolio, including CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA applications, and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. The new partnership enables SOLIZE PARTNERS in Japan to leverage this extensive experience, technical expertise and proven delivery capabilities to better serve manufacturers across Japan.

This partnership marks another milestone in the SOLIZE Group's global growth strategy and reinforces its commitment to helping manufacturers transform engineering and manufacturing through connected digital technologies and practical engineering expertise.

SOLIZE PARTNERS and Dassault Systèmes Form Partnership to Accelerate Digital Transformation in Manufacturing

XUZHOU, China, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- XCMG's drive to bring battery-electric mining equipment to Australia's Pilbara region was the focus of an in-depth feature published by The Australian Financial Review (AFR) on Aug 3, including an interview with Yang Dongsheng, chairman of XCMG Group and XCMG Machinery.

The feature examines how the Pilbara, home to some of the world's largest iron ore operations, is emerging as the testing ground for the next generation of zero-emission mining equipment. XCMG's landmark partnership with Fortescue sits at the center of that transition.

XCMG ranks among the world's largest makers of open-pit mining equipment, with machines working across mines in Africa, Europe and the Americas. Battery-electric models are a growing part of that lineup.

Under a strategic agreement signed in September 2025, XCMG will supply Fortescue with 150 to 200 units of 240-tonne battery-electric haul trucks — China's largest-ever export order for green mining equipment — supporting Fortescue's goal of eliminating fossil fuels from its terrestrial iron ore operations by 2030.

Speaking to the AFR, Yang called Australia "one of the most high-end markets around the world for our industry," and a proving ground for XCMG to show that electric mining equipment can haul at scale.

Yang expects the contest to be decided by the machines themselves, with customers picking suppliers on technology, cost and efficiency, the areas where XCMG has concentrated its investment.

Fortescue Executive Chairman Dr. Andrew Forrest, interviewed alongside Yang in Perth, told the AFR that Fortescue had deliberately chosen partners like XCMG for their flexibility and courage to recognize the industry's shift to low-carbon operations.

The interview followed a visit by Fortescue CEO Dino Otranto to XCMG's test facility in Xuzhou, where he test-drove the battery-electric mining equipment that will soon be deployed in the Pilbara.

XCMG's work with Fortescue builds on a growing track record in electric mining. The company has deployed the world's first fully autonomous, all-electric mining trucks at the Yimin open-pit mine in China and was recognized at the 2025 Decarbonising Mining Awards.

As the mining industry moves away from diesel, XCMG will continue building equipment that cuts emissions without costing operators productivity. Together with partners like Fortescue, the company is working to make zero-emission mining a commercial reality across the sector.
