VisualLogix Expands European Footprint with refyne Group Acquisition

The integration brings a suite of established European software—including Athena, Apollon, TrunCAD, nCAD, flixo, and Triviso—under the VisualLogix umbrella. These tools are central to the workflows of fabricators in the wood and metal sectors, providing end-to-end support from initial design to thermal analysis and production. For VisualLogix, the acquisition serves as a strategic bridge into European markets, complementing its existing portfolio of industry-standard solutions like AutoSPRINK and Metal Building Software.

Brett Zane, CEO of VisualLogix, emphasized that the synergy between the two companies lies in a shared commitment to mission-critical, domain-specific software. The company plans to leverage this combined expertise to accelerate the development of an artificial intelligence foundation. By embedding advanced AI across the expanded product range, VisualLogix aims to automate complex engineering workflows and increase precision for designers and manufacturers. Dr. Stefan Gutberlet, CEO of refyne Group, noted that the partnership provides the necessary resources to scale innovation and maintain the technical continuity that their clients require. Both organizations have committed to preserving existing support structures while unifying their development efforts to better serve the modern industrial landscape.
