Amatrium names Eastgate Software as U.S. channel partner for manufacturing clients

Amatrium Inc and Eastgate Software have formed a channel partnership for manufacturing software projects in the United States and Canada. The deal gives Amatrium the customer-facing contract role while Eastgate provides the engineering team, as both companies target AI-native development for factories.

Why it matters: - The partnership creates a single U.S. contracting path for manufacturing clients that need process automation, legacy software replacement, factory system integration and AI deployment. - The model is designed to reduce vendor complexity for manufacturers in the United States and Canada. - Amatrium says the collaboration expands its ability to support AI-native software development for domestic manufacturers.

What happened: - Amatrium Inc and Eastgate Software entered a software development channel partnership covering manufacturing clients in the United States and Canada. - Amatrium announced the partnership to investors and partners in August 2026 and published details on its software development page. - Amatrium is Eastgate Software’s U.S. channel partner and prime contractor. - U.S. client work is contracted and delivered through Amatrium. - Eastgate Software provides the engineering organization that designs, builds and supports the systems.

The details: - Amatrium handles contracting, invoicing and account management for manufacturing clients in the United States and Canada. - A manufacturer signs one contract with Amatrium and uses Amatrium as the single U.S. point of contact from planning through deployment. - Eastgate engineers deliver behind that contract under Eastgate’s process and certifications. - Amatrium describes the combined offering as one coordinated team rather than several vendors. - The partnership covers process automation, legacy software replacement, factory system integration and AI deployment. - Amatrium says its AI work began with machine learning and later expanded to AmatriumGPT, a knowledge hub with a word-for-word translator. - Amatrium is based in Winchester, Massachusetts, and provides AI and data software to manufacturers. - Andrew Halonen, Amatrium’s president, spent 30 years in automotive castings, forging, lightweight materials and machine design, including roles at Ford and 3M. - Dr. Nhon Vo, Amatrium’s chairman, works in advanced aluminum alloys and is an R&D executive at a Fortune 500 metal company. - Eastgate Software builds mission-critical systems, with delivery teams in Hanoi, Aachen and Tokyo. - Eastgate works on intelligent transportation and smart mobility programs in Europe. - Eastgate holds ISO 27001:2022 certification for information security management and ISO 9001 certification for quality management. - Eastgate says it has delivered more than 500 projects across 12 years and has 93% client retention. - Ha Bui, Eastgate’s CEO, said software has moved from supporting the plant to running it and that outages should be treated as safety events rather than support tickets. - Eastgate clients in Europe and Japan continue to be contracted and managed directly by Eastgate Software. - Team allocation on existing Eastgate programs is unchanged.

Between the lines: - The partnership pairs a U.S. customer-facing contractor with an engineering group that emphasizes audited process and mission-critical delivery. - The setup could make Eastgate’s capabilities easier for U.S. manufacturers to buy while keeping local account ownership under Amatrium. - The deal also signals that manufacturing software purchasing is moving toward integrated AI and systems work instead of point solutions.

What's next: - Amatrium and Eastgate are positioned to take on new manufacturing software engagements in the U.S. and Canada under the new model. - Further detail is available at Amatrium’s software development page. - Existing Eastgate customers in Europe and Japan should see no change in contract structure or team allocation.

The bottom line: - Amatrium becomes the U.S. front door for Eastgate Software’s manufacturing work, while Eastgate stays the engineering engine behind the contract.
