Industrial software company Forterro has acquired Orgadata, a leading German-based software provider for the global window, door and façade industry. The new acquisition adds a new specialised software solution to its expanding portfolio and creates a new Forterro Windows and Doors division.
Based in Leer, Germany, Orgadata’s Logikal software is used for designing, calculating and producing windows, doors and curtain walls. It digitalises and simplifies processes so that companies can work more efficiently and cost-optimised.
According to Marcus Pannier, Regional President at Forterro, the acquisition provides access to a new industry within the company’s target market:
“Together with Orgadata, we will continue to drive digitalisation in the manufacturing sector.”
Regulatory approvals are currently in progress, with the deal anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Until then, both companies will continue to operate entirely independently of each other.
