BCT Technology

What BCT Technology does

BCT Technology AG is a German Siemens Platinum Partner founded in 1991 and headquartered in Willstätt, Baden-Württemberg, with a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary in Rotkreuz. The company employs 51–100 people and sells, implements, and extends the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio — Teamcenter (PLM), Polarion (ALM), NX and Solid Edge (CAD/CAE), Simcenter (simulation), Mendix (low-code), and Mindsphere (industrial IoT) — for manufacturing customers in the DACH region across mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace, and medical technology verticals. Named customers include MTU Aero Engines, STAEDTLER, SSI Schäfer, MEIKO Maschinenbau, Bachmann electronic, MiniTec, GMN, TII Group, JANSEN AG, CIP Mobility, autonox Robotics, and JELBA.

BCT differentiates from a typical Siemens reseller by developing and maintaining a portfolio of six proprietary add-ons: BCT Inspector (quality management), BCT CheckIt (data validation), BCT aClass (classification), BCT 3D-Raster (3D rasterization), BCT EasyPlot (visualization), and — most recently, with general availability announced in January 2026 — AI Optimizer (generative-AI-assisted requirements and test management for Polarion ALM). It also operates BCT Cloud4PLM (a proprietary cloud PLM offering aimed at SMEs, complementary to Siemens Teamcenter X) and the Advanced Machine Engineering (AME) solution bundle for next-generation machine builders.

The business model blends five revenue streams: (i) Siemens software license resale and subscription, (ii) implementation and consulting services, (iii) managed services for ongoing PLM/ALM operations, (iv) training and workshops, and (v) subscription revenue from BCT's own proprietary add-ons. BCT pursues a direct enterprise field-sales motion in the DACH region, with the Siemens partner ecosystem functioning as both a channel and a strategic alignment; a three-way flagship engagement with Siemens and Capgemini Invent at MTU Aero Engines illustrates BCT's role in large-scale model-based enterprise programs. Pricing is enterprise-quote-based across all streams, ISO/IEC 27001 certification underpins information-security posture, and there is no public pricing or pricing-tier disclosure.
