EAC Product Development Solutions

What EAC Product Development Solutions does

EAC Product Development Solutions is a privately held US-based engineering services and value-added reseller firm operating as a certified PTC partner. The company resells, implements, and supports PTC's product development software portfolio — Windchill (PLM), Codebeamer (ALM), Creo (CAD), ThingWorx (IoT), Mathcad, Arbortext, and Kepware — and extends that core stack with proprietary offerings including the OpsMate AI solution and the EAC Alliance Program for managed Windchill administration. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota (legal entity EAC Design Corporation), EAC also operates an additive manufacturing subsidiary, EAC Additive (eacadditive.com), distributing 3D printers, scanners, materials, and post-processing equipment from Formlabs, INTAMSYS, Creality, and AMT PostPro. The firm holds ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA compliance attestations applicable to its Codebeamer and managed-service engagements.

The business model combines four revenue streams: PTC software licensing (annual subscriptions with 15-day prepayment renewals and 30-day terms for new licenses), professional services for implementation, upgrades, training, and assessments, recurring managed services through the EAC Alliance Program on a monthly retainer, and hardware resale via eacadditive.com. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting engineering, quality, regulatory, and operations leaders in regulated and complex-manufacturing verticals — primarily MedTech, automotive, aerospace and defense, industrial equipment, and consumer products — augmented by content marketing, industry-specific landing pages, and tradeshow presence including a confirmed IMTS 2026 booth.

The firm is led by Thane Hathaway (President, Founder, and CEO) alongside vice presidents covering business development, sales, connected solutions, and a senior vice president. Named enterprise customers include Medtronic, Stryker, Sysmex, Bose, 3M, Eli Lilly, Dematic, Kohler, and Bic, with disclosed outcomes such as a 35% compliance cycle reduction at Medtronic, FDA certification in 12 weeks for Bose, and an estimated $20M annual ROI from an integrated QMS at Stryker. With 51-100 employees and no disclosed funding history, EAC operates as a focused specialist firm whose strategic emphasis has shifted toward AI-enabled lifecycle services and additive manufacturing alongside its traditional PTC resale and managed-services core.

Revenue model

1. Software Licensing (PTC Resale): EAC resells PTC software licenses (Windchill, Creo, Codebeamer, Mathcad, ThingWorx, Arbortext, Vuforia, Kepware) and subscription renewals. Software subscriptions are sold with 30-day payment terms for new licenses and 15-day prepayment terms for renewals. Expired subscriptions incur missed fee charges plus current-year renewal charges to restore full support. Pricing is in US dollars unless otherwise specified.
2. Professional Services and Consulting: EAC generates revenue from implementation services (Windchill upgrades and installations, Creo managed services, AI integration, technical publications), training and mentoring programs, business and functional assessments, and additive manufacturing consulting. Training class credits must be completed within 1 year of order date; cancellations within 6 business days are subject to forfeiture.
3. Managed Services (EAC Alliance Program): EAC's Alliance Program provides ongoing Windchill administration, system monitoring, performance optimization, and managed services on a subscription or monthly retainer basis. Alliance payments are due by the first day of each month prior to service delivery. This represents a recurring revenue stream from sustained client engagements.
4. Additive Manufacturing Products: Through its eacadditive.com division, EAC resells 3D printers, 3D scanners, post-processing equipment, materials, and accessories from partner brands (Formlabs, INTAMSYS, Creality, AMT PostPro). Revenue is generated through product sales, likely one-time and subscription-based depending on product category.
