Symetri

What Symetri does

Symetri is a Sweden-headquartered technology solutions provider serving the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations (AECO) and manufacturing industries, founded in 1989 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Addnode Group AB (Nasdaq Stockholm). The company employs over 1,000 people across nine countries — Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, the UK, Ireland, the United States, Brazil, and Canada — and serves a combined customer base of more than 25,000 enterprise and mid-market clients. As the world's largest Autodesk Platinum Partner, Symetri resells, implements, and supports the full Autodesk portfolio (Revit, AutoCAD, Inventor, BIM 360/ACC) alongside a proprietary product stack centred on three pillars: Naviate (Revit/Civil 3D productivity extensions for BIM), Sovelia (PLM platform for manufacturing product lifecycle management), and CQ (license management and software deployment for CAD applications).

The company's business model combines recurring software licence and subscription revenue from Autodesk and proprietary products with project-based revenue from implementation, training, and technical consultancy services, supplemented by CQ's recurring managed-service revenue. Symetri pursues a vertical go-to-market focused on discrete AECO and manufacturing sub-segments (rolling stock, marine, subsea, pulp and paper, clean tech, infrastructure), with enterprise field sales augmented by acquired regional subsidiaries (Microdesk, Team D3, FF Solutions, SolidCAD) that retain their local brands. Recent strategic activity has emphasised inorganic geographic and product expansion — two acquisitions in 2025 alone (Brazil and Canada) — alongside partnership-enabled product launches including ilean, an AI troubleshooting agent for manufacturing built with InUse, Naviate Environment for landscape BIM, and a cloud content management partnership with Egnyte for AEC information governance.
