Siemens not planning any more big software acquisitions - source

MUNICH (Reuters) - German engineering group Siemens (DE:SIEGn) is not planning any more big purchases of industrial software makers, a person close to the company told Reuters.

"We are pretty much done building the house of industry digitalisation," the source said on Thursday.

Siemens has bought a dozen software companies over the past 10 years, mostly in the United States, spending close to 9 billion euros (7.59 billion pound) to keep pace with changes to manufacturing technology.
