Autodesk closed its previously announced $3.6 billion acquisition of MaintainX on August 3, 2026, completing the largest deal in Autodesk's 44-year history and formally launching a new Autodesk Operations Solutions (AOS) business unit.
Deal Mechanics
The merger, executed through Autodesk's wholly owned subsidiary Matterhorn Acquisition Corp., was announced May 28 and cleared closing conditions on schedule. Autodesk funded the all-cash purchase with about $1.6 billion of cash on the balance sheet, with the remainder financed with new debt.
MaintainX generated more than $135 million in annualized recurring revenue growing above 50% year over year, giving Autodesk a fast-scaling foothold in industrial maintenance and asset management — a category CEO Andrew Anagnost has flagged as central to the company's next chapter beyond design tools.
What Autodesk Buys
Founded in 2018, MaintainX's mobile-first platform is used by thousands of factories and facilities to manage work orders, inspections, preventive maintenance, spare-parts inventory and asset data. Autodesk plans to wire that data into its BIM, Fusion and Construction Cloud stack, letting owners follow an asset from design through operations without swapping tools.
A New Business Unit — AOS
Autodesk is folding MaintainX into a new Autodesk Operations Solutions (AOS) segment aimed at owner-operators in manufacturing, energy, transportation and public infrastructure. AOS joins Autodesk's design, make and construction franchises, giving the company a full lifecycle offering competing with the likes of IBM Maximo, SAP EAM and ServiceNow.
The deal caps a busy summer of enterprise-software consolidation that also includes Okta's $200M Permiso buy, Microchip's Hailo acquisition and Procore's $845M DroneDeploy pickup.
