Cadgrafics

What Cadgrafics does

Cadgrafics S.A. de C.V. is a 100% Mexican-owned value-added reseller (VAR) and IT solutions integrator founded in 1990, headquartered in Mexico City with a wholly-owned regional subsidiary, Cadgrafics de Occidente S.A. de C.V., in Guadalajara. The company distributes enterprise software and hardware from major global brands — Adobe (as a Platinum Partner), Autodesk, Microsoft, Dell, HP, Apple, and Chaos — and supplements this with its own professional services including certified training (Cadgrafics Training), high-format printing services, HPC consulting, and server/storage solutions. Its product portfolio spans Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro) plus Document Cloud (Acrobat Pro, Acrobat Sign, Acrobat Studio, and the Firefly generative AI capabilities); Autodesk collections for AEC, PDM, and M&E workflows (Revit, AutoCAD, Maya, 3ds Max, Fusion 360, Arnold); Microsoft 365, Azure, and Teams; Dell enterprise laptops, Precision workstations, PowerEdge servers, and PowerStore/PowerMax storage; HP DesignJet and PageWide XL large-format printers; the full Apple Mac and iPad lineup; and Chaos visualization software (V-Ray, Corona, Enscape, Envision, Arena, Cylindo). Cadgrafics serves PYMES, corporates, educational centers, and Mexican federal/state/municipal government agencies through a direct sales team, with operations purely domestic and quote-based pricing.

Revenue is generated through four streams: software license resale (recurring, via distributor agreements with Adobe/Autodesk/Microsoft), hardware resale (Dell, HP, Apple), recurring support and professional services (training via Cadgrafics Training), and wide-format printing equipment sales and service. The go-to-market operates as a multi-brand channel partner rather than a technology developer: Cadgrafics provides consultative selling, multi-vendor procurement, deployment, and certified training rather than proprietary software. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer relationships span enterprise license reselling to mid-market and government accounts, with named cases including Tecnología Virtual, Pace University, and Swiss Medical Group Argentina (the latter two as Adobe reference end-users distributed through Cadgrafics). The company has operated continuously for over 32 years with two offices, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity on record.
