Chip design software firm Synopsys completes $35B deal
This story was originally published on Manufacturing Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Manufacturing Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Chip design software maker Synopsys on Thursday said it has completed its acquisition of Ansys following final regulatory approvals from China this week. The transaction, valued at $35 billion, builds on a seven-year partnership between the U.S.-based companies as they look to leverage their strengths to become a leader in silicon-to-systems design, according to a January 2024 investor presentation. Pennsylvania-based Ansys is a developer of engineering simulation and analysis software. The deal has been 18 months in the making as Synopsys and Ansys looked to gain key approvals from countries overseas. Synopsys said the combination will meet demand for advanced software that fuses electronics and physics, augmented with artificial intelligence. Dive Insight: As products become more intelligent at a rapid pace, engineering teams are faced with a range of design complexities and cost pressures. Synopsys said it hopes to address these challenges with its latest acquisition. 'With Ansys now part of Synopsys, we can give engineers the industry's most comprehensive solutions to design, optimize and virtualize not only the silicon, but also the entire system,' Synopsys President and CEO Sassine Ghazi said in a video message Thursday. Automakers, for example, can now use the software to design and test their chips, chassis and other parts and systems before production begins with help from Ansys' simulation and multi-physics technology, Ghazi said. Synopsys plans to have Ansys' technologies integrated within its software by the first half of 2026. The company said it is now positioned to service a $31 billion market. Since the deal was first announced Jan. 16, 2024, Synopsys has faced a series of regulatory challenges along the way. While headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, the company has global operations across Europe, Asia and the Middle East and must meet certain requirements to operate internationally. In December 2024, the U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority flagged concerns that the merger could reduce choice for customers and result in lower-quality products with higher prices. To address those concerns, Synopsys and Ansys agreed to sell certain businesses to Santa Rosa, California-based Keysight Technologies as a condition for the deal to proceed. U.K. regulators cleared the acquisition in March. Meanwhile, China has drawn out its approval process as geopolitical tensions rise against the United States over tariffs. On June 30, Synopsys said in an update to investors that it had received approvals from all major jurisdictions except for China, and was in advanced talks with the country's regulatory agency on the matter. The company posted in an investor filing that it received final approvals on July 14, ushering in a new chapter for the software maker. The acquisition is expected to achieve $400 million of cost synergies by the third year, and $400 million of revenue synergies by the fourth year, according to the investor presentation. Former Ansys leaders Ajei Gopal, who served as president and CEO, and board member Ravi Vijayaraghavan have joined Synopsys' board of directors, effective immediately.

More than 67K cases of Power Stick deodorant products voluntarily recalled
More than 67,000 cases of roll-on deodorant that were sold nationwide have been voluntarily recalled due to an undisclosed manufacturing defect. A.P. Deauville, LLC, the manufacturer of Power Stick deodorants, initiated a voluntary recall for 67,214 combined total cases of three types of antiperspirant on July 10, 2025, according to a report from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Pennsylvania-based manufacturer did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment. Details of deodorant recall The affected products include Power Stick for Her Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Powder Fresh, Power Stick Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant Spring Fresh, and Power Stick Original Nourishing Invisible Protection Roll-On Antiperspirant Deodorant. All recalled items came in a 1.8-ounce package size. The reason for the recall, according to the FDA report, was "cGMP deviations," which indicates an issue with the established procedures and standards for how a product is made, as outlined in the Current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP. As defined by the FDA, cGMP are a set of regulations to ensure product quality and safety. "The regulations make sure that a product is safe for use, and that it has the ingredients and strength it claims to have," the agency states on its website.

ComEd's $10 million relief fund running out after 60,000 customers apply in first week
As Chicago continues to swelter in record summer heat, the $10 million ComEd customer relief fund is about to run dry. Nearly 60,000 customers have submitted applications since ComEd opened the window last week for the one-time grant, which was created to defray rising electric supply charges during peak air conditioning season. 'Based on the high demand seen, we anticipate the fund will soon close, and ComEd will make an announcement once funds are fully exhausted,' ComEd spokesperson Lauren Huffman said Wednesday. Exelon, the utility's Chicago-based parent company, is donating the relief money for the fund, which is being administered through Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago and The Salvation Army. The application process began July 7 and the agencies are currently sorting through thousands of customer requests seeking a share of the $10 million, Huffman said. The Customer Relief Fund will provide one-time grants of up to $500 for qualifying low- to moderate income customers, and $1,000 for nonprofit organizations in northern Illinois. ComEd customers can still apply for assistance at but time and the funds are both running out. The relief targets ComEd customers at or below 300% of the federal poverty level who are in arrears. ComEd residential customers approved for the relief funds will see the money appear as a one-time credit on an upcoming bill, wiping out up to $500 in past due balances. Grants will be awarded to qualified customers on a first-come, first-served basis, until the $10 million fund is gone, Huffman said. ComEd announced the relief fund last month, as electricity supply prices were set to rise. The cost for an average residential customer was expected to go up $10.60 per month beginning in June, according to ComEd. The increase was caused by a higher rate ComEd will pay for electricity over the next year, a supply cost which the utility passes through to customers. But June was hotter than normal, exacerbated by a heat dome which brought oppressive triple-digit temperatures and humidity to large swaths of the Midwest and East Coast for several weeks Chicago experienced its sixth hottest June on record, with average daily highs at 84.1 degrees – 3.7 degrees above normal, according to the National Weather Service. The heat kept air conditioners working overtime, which in turn raised electricity demand, bringing the increased supply cost right to the bottom line on ComEd customer bills. The supply charge generally represents about half of the monthly bill and does not benefit ComEd, which makes its profit on the delivery charges. The average residential ComEd customer paid $108 per month for the total bill, before the supply charge increased, the utility said. PJM Interconnection, a Pennsylvania-based regional transmission organization, manages the electricity supply grid for 13 states, including ComEd's 4.2 million customers in northern Illinois. It holds an annual capacity auction for expected reserve electricity needed during peak demand, and last year those supply prices skyrocketed. Results for the next PJM capacity auction are expected to be made public Tuesday, which will set the supply prices for ComEd and its customers for next year. ComEd said the retirement of fossil fuel plants and rising demand have put more pressure on the grid, contributing to higher supply prices. The utility also said delays in bringing a backlog of integrating wind, solar and other renewable energy suppliers into the grid is making it harder to replace lost capacity. Electric utilities and their customers across the country are navigating similar supply cost issues, including Ameren in downstate Illinois, where monthly bills are expected to spike 18% to 20% this summer. Exelon donated a total of $50 million to customer relief funds through its six utility companies, including BGE in Maryland, PECO in Pennsylvania and the $10 million for ComEd in Illinois. rchannick@
