GoEngineer acquires SOLIDWORKS reseller SKA
GoEngineer, an engineering solutions and technology provider based in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, has acquired SKA, a SOLIDWORKS and engineering technology reseller headquartered in São Leopoldo, Brazil. SKA will operate as SKA, a GoEngineer company. The acquisition extends GoEngineer’s presence into Latin America while strengthening its capabilities across manufacturing software, shop-floor technologies, automation, and product development.
Founded in 1989 and headquartered in São Leopoldo, Brazil, SKA serves thousands of customers across manufacturing, aerospace, medical, and industrial end markets. In addition to its leadership position in SOLIDWORKS, SKA brings meaningful capabilities in manufacturing execution systems (MES), machining automation, sheet metal, Additive Manufacturing, and engineering workflow integrations.
The acquisition expands GoEngineer’s ability to support its customers across the full product lifecycle, from design and engineering through production and factory-floor operations. It also extends its technical expertise and customer support capabilities throughout the Americas. This acquisition follows GoEngineer’s 2025 expansion into Canada and represents the company’s first presence in Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere. The company states that the transaction reflects growing demand for the kind of deep, full-service engineering partnership that GoEngineer has built.
“GoEngineer has spent more than 40 years building something that no other organisation in this space has: the certified experts, the training infrastructure, the Additive Manufacturing capability, the proprietary customer technology, and the innovation capacity to be a true global end-to-end engineering solutions partner,” stated Justin Winter, CEO, GoEngineer. “Bringing SKA into the GoEngineer family means that engineers and manufacturers in Brazil and throughout Latin America will now have access to that same world-class experience. This is a statement about what GoEngineer is becoming: the global standard for what an engineering solutions partner should be.”

GoEngineer combines software and hardware from more than a dozen leading technology vendors with significant in-house technical capabilities, including hundreds of certified specialists, a national training infrastructure spanning classroom, online, and on-site delivery, and an Additive Manufacturing services bureau operating across FDM, PolyJet, SLA, SLS, and metal AM technologies.
SKA brings a complementary set of solutions to the combined organisation. SKA’s management team and local culture will remain fully intact as the business operates as SKA, a GoEngineer company, ensuring continuity for customers and partners throughout Brazil.
With the combination of GoEngineer and SKA, customers in Latin America gain access to GoEngineer’s expanded offerings and technical depth, while multinational manufacturers benefit from coordinated support delivered by two aligned partners across North and South America.
