DGAP-News: Softing Automotive Electronics wins tender from international automotive manufacturer and receives exclusive order for production equipment

The order has a direct volume of more than EUR 10 million comprising services and products. Softing expects this order to generate add-on revenue of a similar magnitude. The major portion of the revenue estimated to reach up to EUR 20 million will be spread over the next five to six years, with delivery of the first samples to commence in 2023.

The vehicle manufacturer will equip its worldwide production network with the production system to be supplied by Softing. Softing is expected to supply around 10,000 parameterization devices for production. The Softing product is needed to load the data volumes of future vehicle architectures into the vehicles within the time constraints determined by the manufacturing cycle. The previous production system cannot deliver the transmission speed required for this purpose.

Dr. Wolfgang Trier, Chief Executive Officer of Softing AG, commented: "Our wholly owned subsidiary Softing Automotive Electronics has so far focused on vehicle development and servicing. While we are also responsible for parameterization in a sports car manufacturers production process, this order marks another important step enabling us to gain a strong foothold in the production process of an international premium manufacturer. We are delighted about this vote of confidence from our customer and are excited to further grow our business with them.
