NovoPLM and Sconce have proven to be valuable Channel Partners to PTC.We believe this acquisition and expansion will provide immense value to our customers and to the marketplace

Sconce provides PLM, MCAD, advisory, and engineering consulting services to worldwide businesses of all sizes, including many Fortune 500/1000 companies.

Sconce launched NovoPLM in 2015, and the company quickly grew to become one of North America's leading PTC software resellers and training partners. Its acquisition of Tech-30 expands its geographic reach – particularly on the west coast – and combines the two companies' respective backgrounds, which the company feels will greatly benefit its clients and the CAD/CAM/PLM marketplace.

Management at NovoPLM feel each company brings their own strengths to the table and will complement each other well. "NovoPLM has a vast background in the PTC Creo® and Windchill® solutions. We now have specialized divisions that focus solely on PTC's Vuforia® augmented reality software and services and SaaS products such as PTC's Onshape® software. The Tech-30 team are proven leaders in PTC's Mathcad® solution and have built a dedicated community for their Mathcad customers," said Brian Bezdek, Managing Partner of NovoPLM and Sconce Group.

"Having this expertise under one roof provides our customer base with more robust and agile solutions as they grow their own businesses."
"NovoPLM and Sconce have proven to be valuable Channel Partners to PTC. We believe this acquisition and expansion will provide immense value to our customers and to the marketplace," said Corey Pratte, Vice President of America Channel Sales, PTC.
