What JANUS Engineering does

JANUS Engineering AG is a privately held Siemens Digital Industries Software partner specializing in digital manufacturing software and services for industrial manufacturers. Headquartered in Sindelfingen, Germany, with operations in Austria, Switzerland, France, the United States (Morgan Hill, California), Hungary, and Tunisia, the company was founded in 1986 (per firmographics; 1994 per company history) and celebrated its 30-year milestone in 2024. In December 2025, JANUS became part of the MAIT Gruppe.

The company's core offering is the Siemens NX CAM/PLM/CAD platform — resold as a Gold/Platinum and Foundation Partner — extended by a broad proprietary add-on portfolio developed through its JANUS Computer Graphics GmbH subsidiary. Proprietary products include JANUS AIDO (AI add-on for NX CAM), JANUS Technology Manager, MRL Machine Resource Library, VoluMill and VoluTurn high-performance machining modules, EDM Setup Generator, Feature-based Machining, Shop Floor Connect DNC, JANUS NX Renishaw Productivity+ (NXRSP+) metrology integration, and the recently launched iM by JANUS intelligent manufacturing platform. The technology spans PLM, CAD, CAM, DNC, CNC, resource management, and metrology within a unified NX-based ecosystem.

JANUS makes money through three engines: (1) resale and subscription of Siemens NX CAD/CAM/PLM software licenses and maintenance; (2) one-time and recurring licenses for its proprietary add-on modules; and (3) professional services including consulting, implementation, training via JANUS E-Academy and NX CAM Day events, and recurring help-desk/support contracts. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise sales through regional account teams, supplemented by co-sell with Siemens and the MAIT Gruppe partner network across DACH and France. Customers include large industrial manufacturers such as Adam Opel, KSB, Bitzer, Gühring, Handtmann, Allweiler, Bürkert, and Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, served across verticals including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, electronics, energy, and tooling/mold-making.
