Our journey is one that is 20 years in the making—and continues! As DELMIA continuously evolves, let’s pause and take a look back to where it all began.

The year 2000 marked the beginning of a new millennium. The world was abuzz with Y2K, the movie “Gladiator” reigned supreme on the big screen, cake pops were a new dessert, and what was to be known as “the decade of technology” was just beginning.

During that year another poignant event occurred: DELMIA was launched.

The Creation of a New Brand

On June 7, 2000, Dassault Systemes announced the creation of DELMIA, its new brand for e-Manufacturing. DELMIA consolidated Deneb, DELTA and SAFEWORK under a unique brand to become the premier brand for digital manufacturing and production solutions. According to the Dassault Systèmes press release,  “offering customers the most comprehensive and integrated methodologies and solutions to fully address their digital manufacturing needs.” Its aim to provide the manufacturing community with e-solutions to “create, monitor and control agile, distributed manufacturing systems geared towards build-to-order (BtO) and Lean Manufacturing and production (LM).” DELMIA, which began as the acronym, Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application, was officially launched.
