History

The development of 3D design software was originally started in the mid 80's for in-house use by Cadmatic's mother company, Elomatic Ltd, to take advantage of 3D technology in improving the design, visualization, distribution and total cost efficiency of projects.

The development project for a 3D plant design program was started in 1983 and by 1985 the first pilot project using the new 3D technology was completed. Improvements in design and overall efficiency were remarkable and as such it was decided to found Cadmatic Ltd in the early 1990s with the responsibility of marketing and further developing Cadmatic 3D software.

It was at this time that Cadmatic also started its co-operation with Dutch partners Numeriek Centrum Groningen B.V. to develop comprehensive 3D design solutions for ship design under the NUPAS-CADMATIC brand name while continuing with plant design software development under the original Cadmatic name.

In September 2015, Cadmatic acquired all the shares and business operations of Numeriek Centrum Groningen, after which the companies’ operations were combined. At the same time all branding was united under the Cadmatic brand and product name.

In August 2019, Cadmatic acquired Finnish software company Kymdata and its CADS software for electrical and automation design. After the acquisition, Cadmatic's business operations were divided into three customer segments: Marine, Process & Industry, and Construction.

Since those early days, we have demonstrated significant growth with our products being used by over 6000 customer organizations in 60 countries to date.
