Makersite Acquires SiGREEN To Enhance Supplier PCF Data Collection And Sharing

On April 14, product lifecycle intelligence software vendor Makersite announced the acquisition of SiGREEN, Siemens's product carbon footprint (PCF) and supply chain data exchange platform. The deal takes effect June 1, 2026, and signals continued momentum for Makersite. The vendor has grown 50% since 2024 and raised a Series B round of €60 million (~$70 million) in summer 2025 to expand product development, strengthen its data infrastructure and technology partnerships, and advance AI-powered product innovation.

The acquisition combines complementary capabilities: Makersite provides LCA, eco-design, cost and risk modelling, while SiGREEN adds PCF aggregation, supplier data exchange, and alignment with key frameworks such as Catena-X, PACT and Together for Sustainability (TfS). Together, the platform enables end-to-end product carbon footprinting from raw materials to factory gate, while facilitating standardized emissions data exchange across complex supply chains.

Beyond Makersite, other LCA software vendors such as Greenly, IPOINT, One Click LCA, Planet FWD and Sphera are focusing on enhanced supplier outreach and engagement for higher-quality primary data. These providers are investing in supplier portals, outreach templates, and the ability for suppliers to calculate PCFs and share pre-verified data with customers.

Why does this matter now? The timing of Makersite’s SiGREEN acquisition is significant on multiple fronts. Our research indicates that firms are placing growing emphasis on reducing product-level carbon emissions, with rising customer demand for PCF data. However, many suppliers remain ill-equipped to meet these requests due to lack of internal expertise and IT systems to collect and manage these data. Indeed, the 2024 CDP Call to Action supply chain report revealed that only 2% of suppliers report any product-level data.

Consequently, firms are not only constrained by limited data access, but are equally faced with unreliable, incomplete and inconsistent supply chain data. Across sectors, data quality erodes rapidly beyond Tier  1 and can be incorrect for up to 70% of Tier  2 to Tier  4 suppliers. This leads to reliance on generic emission factors and averages that weakens product verification credibility – which is increasingly a pre-requisite for market access.

At the same time, regulations are turning emissions data into a source of direct financial exposure. Since January 1, 2026, the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires importers of carbon‑intensive goods to surrender certificates based on the embedded emissions of products, calculated at supplier installation level. As a result, access to primary, verifiable supplier emissions data has become critical and firms that cannot produce credible, verified PCF data risk either overpaying on CBAM certificates or facing compliance exposure.

The acquisition of SiGREEN by Makersite signals a broader shift in the PCF/LCA software market towards integrated platforms that combine primary supplier data exchange with LCA modelling and analytics. It also reflects the growing importance of interoperability across emerging carbon data ecosystems, with SiGREEN’s alignment to broader frameworks supporting more consistent, scalable PCF exchange.
