Forterro has officially announced the acquisition of Orgadata AG, a leading German-based software provider for the global window, door and façade industry. The new acquisition marks a significant step in Forterro’s growth strategy, adding a new specialised software solution to its expanding portfolio and creating a new Forterro Windows and Doors division.
Based in Leer, Germany, Orgadata is well known in the market for its innovative Logikal software for designing, calculating and producing windows, doors and curtain walls. Logikal digitalises and simplifies processes so that companies can work more efficiently and cost-optimised. Orgadata not only brings a leading market position, but also an experienced team that focusses on close cooperation with customers and continuous improvement of the software.
The acquisition represents a significant step in both companies’ growth strategies. With its size, expertise, and established processes, Forterro is perfectly positioned to complement Orgadata’s strengths and drive innovation. At the same time, Orgadata gives Forterro access to the growing window, door, and façade industry:
“With this acquisition, Forterro will not only expand our portfolio, but also gain access to a new industry within our target market, further strengthening our position as a leading software provider for mid-sized industrial companies,” said Marcus Pannier, Regional President at Forterro. “Together with Orgadata, we will continue to drive digitalisation in the manufacturing sector and, in line with our Forterro mission ‘Powering the Businesses Powering the Future,’ support even more customers on their future paths.”
He shares this vision of sustainable growth with Bernd Hillbrands, the founder of Orgadata who initiated the acquisition process: ‘We see Forterro as a strong partner for the future, who shares our vision of driving digitalisation in the skilled trades and offering innovative solutions for the growing challenges of our customers.”
Marcus Pannier continued: “With a strong foundation of organic growth and strategic acquisitions over the last two years, Forterro continues its dynamic growth trajectory and is well-positioned to expand into new markets to achieve further success.”
Regulatory approvals are currently in progress, with the deal anticipated to complete in the first quarter of 2025. Until then, both companies will continue to operate entirely independently of each other.
