Proposed acquisition strengthens Autodesk's ability to connect real-world data and AI-powered insights to drive convergence in design, make, and operate workflows

SAN FRANCISCO , May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MaintainX, a leading modern maintenance and operations solution, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.6 billion.

Autodesk's strategy is to converge design, make, and operate workflows, ensuring data and insights flow seamlessly in a continuous lifecycle. With the creation of Autodesk Operations Solutions (AOS), the company is bringing together its operations capabilities under a unified platform. The proposed acquisition of MaintainX is intended to strengthen Autodesk's ability to connect operations workflows with the broader lifecycle, helping teams make faster, more informed decisions over time.

Operations represents a significant opportunity for Autodesk and a natural extension of the company's platform strategy. Organizations are increasingly looking to connect workflows, real-world performance, and lifecycle data to improve reliability and reduce downtime. Autodesk believes expanding further into operations will unlock higher-value system level AI, extend its duration with assets and systems from years to decades, and meaningfully expand its addressable market.

MaintainX's pre-built integrations and scalable go-to-market growth motion in operations offers strong expansion potential across customer segments, geographies, and adjacent use cases. And its central position in day-to-day maintenance and operational activity gives Autodesk access to rich data on asset history, inspections, maintenance patterns, and real-world performance.

"Autodesk is expanding beyond design and make to operations, ensuring data and insights flow seamlessly in a continuous lifecycle. For decades, we've helped customers create the world around us, giving Autodesk a strong foundation of industry workflows, data, and context across the AEC and D&M industries," said Andrew Anagnost, CEO of Autodesk. "Our goal with MaintainX is to bring deep operational expertise, contextual data, and workflows that enhance our ability to use AI to converge digital and physical worlds."

AOS brings together Autodesk's growing operations capabilities on its unified platform, including digital twin, planning and execution, and performance analysis. This includes Tandem, Flexsim, Fusion Operations, and Factory Design Utilities. AOS reflects Autodesk's long-term commitment to helping customers create a continuous, data-driven loop by defining and deploying assets and resources, running and maintaining them, all the way through to optimizing their performance.

"Operations is where organizations manage the systems, assets, facilities, and workflows that keep their businesses running every day," said Stephen Hooper, SVP of Autodesk Operations Solutions. "Autodesk is enabling customers to move from managing operations to continuously improving them, deriving more value from their data, and positioning them for the coming wave of AI-driven workflows. MaintainX brings deep expertise in maintenance and frontline operational workflows that complements this broader strategy."

MaintainX is used by organizations around the world to manage maintenance activity, asset information, inspections, work orders, and operational workflows. Its solution is designed to capture valuable, high-frequency data on asset condition, maintenance history, and performance in the field.

"MaintainX was built to empower the people who keep the physical world running," said Chris Turlica, founder and CEO of MaintainX. "Joining forces with Autodesk is an incredible opportunity to accelerate that mission. Together, we can connect the teams who design and build assets with the teams who operate and maintain them every day, and help customers work smarter across the entire lifecycle of their assets."

Autodesk intends to fund the transaction with a combination of cash on hand and debt financing. The transaction is subject to regulatory reviews and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to close later this fiscal year. MaintainX expects to achieve in excess of $135 million of annualized recurring revenue (ARR) for calendar year 2026 with growth in excess of 50 percent. Additional information regarding the transaction, including an investor presentation, is available in Autodesk's investor materials at investors.autodesk.com.
