PLANO, TX, May 2,2025 – Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today its intention to acquire Wevolver, expanding its audience reach, enhancing the Supplyframe product portfolio, and combining digital marketing and integrated campaign programs that include go-to-market support and content creation.

Acquired by Siemens in 2021, the Supplyframe DSI platform is an intelligence resource for the electronics industry and leverages billions of continuous signals of design intent, demand, supply and risk factors. The acquisition of Wevolver amplifies Supplyframe’s reach to more engineers researching future product designs. This new combination unites Supplyframe’s global Design-to-Source Intelligence (DSI) network and monthly engagement with more than 12 million electronic engineering and procurement professionals with Wevolver’s growing global audience of hardware and software engineers.

“The future of product development starts with smarter design decisions – and that means meeting engineers where innovation begins,” said Steve Flagg, CEO and founder, Supplyframe. “By joining forces with Wevolver, we’re not just expanding our reach; we’re accelerating a new era of design-to-source intelligence that’s collaborative, data-driven and built for the speed of tomorrow’s manufacturing.”

Reaching millions of engineers per month on its web and social channels, Wevolver’s platform provides access to informative content, practical resources, and the newest developments in technologies like semiconductors, robotics, AI and manufacturing processes, fostering a global community of innovators.
