SPREAD AI, a German Engineering Intelligence platform unifying product and operational data for industrial companies, announced a $30 million Series B round backed by DTCP Growth, IQT, OTB Ventures, Salesforce, and Thesiger Capital, with continued support from HV Capital and NAP.
The funding will accelerate expansion across Europe and the U.S., deepen integration within the Salesforce ecosystem, and strengthen presence in aerospace, defense, and heavy machinery sectors.
Engineering Intelligence for Industrial AI
SPREAD transforms fragmented engineering and product data into actionable intelligence, enabling faster development cycles, improved troubleshooting, and significant cost savings for global manufacturers. The platform connects structured and unstructured data across design, manufacturing, and operations to create real-time “Product Twins” for decision-making.
Strategic Partnership with Salesforce
The collaboration integrates SPREAD’s product intelligence with Salesforce Customer 360, enabling capabilities such as linking customer issues to engineering root causes, improving sales engineering decisions, and enhancing quality management across the product lifecycle.
SPREAD’s Co-founder and Co-CEO Robert Göbel added: “Working with Salesforce gives us the reach to bring Engineering Intelligence to the industrial companies that need it most: the teams developing, operating or servicing defense systems, vehicles, and industrial machinery. Together, we're making sense of industrial data scattered across a sprawl of legacy systems with our AI-native data foundation that lets engineering, sales and service teams decide and act with speed and confidence. This is Industrial AI delivering tangible impact.”
Platform and Market Vision
SPREAD’s platform enables real-time analysis of product interdependencies, helping organizations reduce risks, optimize performance, and accelerate time-to-market. The solution is designed to support complex industries where data accuracy and operational speed are critical.
"This isn't just about better software, it's about competing at the speed these times demand. Global manufacturers have spent decades building world-class products. They deserve an AI-native foundation that respects their engineering data and standards, and future-proofs the operational excellence that sets them apart. That's the partner we're committed to being, bringing deep domain expertise to deliver measurable impact fast, whether that's mitigating billions in risk from a delayed production launch, stemming rising warranty costs, or slashing time to market in half.", said SPREAD’s Co-founder and Co-CEO Philipp Noll.
Future Outlook
The company is positioning itself within the growing industrial AI ecosystem, aligning with European initiatives to strengthen AI leadership and data sovereignty. SPREAD aims to support manufacturers globally with scalable, transparent, and AI-driven operational systems.
