FPT and 42Q Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Smart Manufacturing Transformation

Global IT corporation FPT and 42Q, a leading provider of cloud-based Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), have formed a strategic alliance to accelerate digital transformation across the manufacturing sector in Europe. The initiative integrates 42Q’s scalable MES platform with FPT’s global IT expertise and AI-first approach to deliver a unified, cloud-enabled production foundation.

This alliance unites 42Q’s industrial foundation with FPT’s global technology capabilities. As part of Sanmina Corporation, a U.S.-based manufacturing group with USD 8.13 billion in revenue in 2025, 42Q offers extensive experience in managing large-scale production systems. FPT reinforces this with a global delivery network spanning more than 30 countries, enabling seamless, end-to-end transformation across distributed manufacturing ecosystems.

The partnership aims at helping manufacturers streamline operations, gain real-time visibility across the production lifecycle, and respond more effectively to shifting market demands. The solution is designed to support enterprises across key industries, including automotive, aviation, electronics, healthcare, and industrial manufacturing.

Structured around three core pillars, the collaboration ensures a clear and comprehensive value proposition. First, global scalability, enabling seamless deployment across multi-site manufacturing operations worldwide. Second, intelligent operations, leveraging AI to enhance decision-making, production quality, and speed. Third, industry specialization, delivering tailored solutions for mission-critical sectors with complex operational requirements. Together, these pillars provide a cohesive framework for manufacturers to build more agile, connected, and future-ready production environments.

“Manufacturing is entering a new era where resilience, intelligence, and connectivity will define the leaders of tomorrow,” said Dzung Tran, FPT Software Senior Vice President and FPT Europe Chief Executive Officer, FPT Corporation. “By bringing together complementary strengths across the manufacturing and technology value chain, we are shaping a more connected, intelligent production ecosystem, where global operations can scale with greater agility, visibility, and consistency.”

“By uniting 42Q’s specialized MES expertise with FPT’s deep engineering heritage, we are creating an unmatched center of excellence for Industry 4.0. This collaboration is a testament to our shared vision: to make complex manufacturing simple, scalable, and sustainable. For global brands looking to future-proof their operations, this partnership offers the ultimate blueprint for success.” Wellington Giolo, 42Q VP of Business Development & Strategic Alliances stated.

With over a decade of operations in Europe, FPT has been supporting over 150 enterprises in advancing digital transformation across key sectors, including energy, manufacturing, financial services, aviation, and public services. The company has established a presence in nine European countries and continues to strengthen its footprint through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, including RWE IT Slovakia, AOSIS in France, and David Lamm Consulting in Germany, further reinforcing its ability to deliver scalable, localized solutions across the region.
