UGS PLM Software President Resigns

Helmuth Ludwig to replace Tilo Brandis as division head; company also announces it will drop ’UGS’ name beginning in October.

Aug 7, 2007

UGS PLM Software announced that Tilo Brandis has resigned as president of the Siemens division. Helmuth Ludwig, president of Siemens Systems Engineering since 2002, will replace Brandis.

UGS states that Brandis is leaving his position due to a "family health situation." Brandis joined UGS PLM Software to oversee the integration of the company into Siemens A&D and is credited with increasing awareness of UGS PLM Software’s business throughout Siemens.

Before becoming president of Siemens Systems Engineering, Ludwig opened and built up the first Siemens organization in Kazakhstan. In 1996, he joined A&D with responsibility for Process Instrumentation Systems. From 1998 until 2001, he was head of A&D’s Energy and Industry division in Buenos Aires. From 2001 to 2002, he was responsible for the A&D Software and Systems House. UGS states that Helmuth is in the process of planning his move to the Plano, Texas, area.

"Helmuth joins us at a very favorable time, thanks in great part to our second quarter performance," stated a UGS release announcing the appointment. "We are excited to report that in our Q2 (our first quarter as part of Siemens), our software license revenue growth was strong, significantly exceeding that of our key competitors."

The release also stated that effective October 1, the UGS PLM Software name will change to Siemens PLM Software. "The UGS PLM Software name has served as a good bridge to remind people of our heritage as we moved into the Siemens family," the release states. "Now, we have the opportunity to further leverage the world-class Siemens brand by associating it with our divisional name."
