size, with its product and technology organization growing more than 143 percent. The company also welcomed Cla- rico Systems, a leader in AI-powered quoting and estimat- ing for packaging manufacturers, and added senior lead- ers across technology, infrastructure and security, and AI and data.
Fort Washington, Pennsylvania based Amtech Software, the AI-powered ERP and MES provider built for packaging manufacturers, welcomed more than 240 attendees from across North America and beyond to the Amtech User Conference 2026 in Nashville last week. Under the theme “Compete Smarter. Operate Stronger,” the three-day event featured more than 80 breakout sessions and deep dives, along with a clear message about where Amtech is invest- ing next: AI, MES and the cloud. A lot has changed since customers last gathered in 2024. Vista Equity Partners, which invests only in enter- prise software, acquired Amtech from Peak Rock Capital in mid-2025. Since then, Amtech has nearly doubled in
“Two years ago, our customers told us what they needed: more ef- ficiency, more ways to win business, and a partner investing ahead of them, not behind them,” said Chuck Schneider, CEO of Amtech Software.

“With Vista backing us, we’ve grown our team, upleveled our support, and shipped AI into packaging workflows. Ev- erything we build now has one goal: help our customers win more work and keep their plant’s data locked down.” Amtech Intelligence embeds AI into the Amtech ERP
and MES screens teams already use, rath- er than bolting it on. It is already at work in Amtech Quick Quote, where an AI agent reads and prepares incoming quote re- quests for review, cutting the manual work between a customer’s email and a finished quote. Through a new partnership with Ama- zon Web Services (AWS), Amtech is pro- viding packaging plants world-class secu- rity, monitoring, backup and maintenance handled by Amtech’s dedicated cloud and security team. Amtech also announced Team Perfor- mance, a platform that connects everyone on the plant floor, from operators and ma- terial handlers to supervisors and man- agers, around the same priorities, across shifts and across languages. Together with new AI-driven scheduling intelligence be- ing developed alongside customers, Team Performance is designed to deliver step change improvements to throughput, on- time delivery and workforce engagement. “We’re not building a faster horse,” said Danna Nelson, Senior Vice President, Product at Amtech Software. “Our custom- ers don’t need AI for its own sake. They need automation and decisioning embed- ded inside quoting, scheduling and the plant floor, where it saves real time and a person stays in control. That’s exactly what we’re building, and it’s being shaped by our Customer AI Council and our custom- ers attending the conference.” Visit am- techsoftware.com to learn more.
