What refyne does

refyne GmbH is a Frankfurt am Main-registered holding entity that consolidates several long-standing specialized software firms serving the wood construction, metal construction, and façade engineering trades in the DACH region. While the holding company itself was formed in 2025, its constituent businesses collectively claim over 30 years of presence in the CAD-CAM software market, with more than 3,000 customers served and over 150 employees across eight European locations.

The group operates an integrated CAD-CAM-ERP product portfolio: n.cad (CAD-CAM for windows, doors, timber and furniture construction with machine-independent programming and nesting achieving up to 93% material utilization); TrunCAD (3D furniture planning for carpenters and cabinetmakers); Flixo (validated thermal bridge analysis and reporting); Triviso ERP (integrated planning-to-financial-accounting ERP for joineries, timber, and metal construction); CAD-Plan (metal construction and façade engineering); and ATHENA (facade planning for the metal industry). These products are designed to interoperate across the full process chain — planning, calculation, sales, project management, construction, manufacturing, and billing — with machine integrations enabling direct data transfer from CAD to CNC equipment. Documented customer outcomes include 20-30% working time reductions, 50% time savings in work preparation, and material utilization rates of 93%.

The business model is subscription-based recurring software revenue, distributed primarily through a multi-tier partner ecosystem that includes international resellers, machine manufacturer OEM integrations (Biesse, HOMAG, mdrei), software cooperation partners, and manufacturer part library partners (WINI). A direct enquiry channel on the company website complements the partner-led model. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates. The firm is privately held with no external funding rounds disclosed and is led by CEO Dr. Stefan Gutberlet and Managing Director Stephan Kelch.

Direct peers

• SEMA GmbH: SEMA provides CAD/CAM and ERP software for carpenters, timber construction, and staircase makers in DACH. It is a direct peer to refyne's wood-construction vertical, particularly competing with Triviso ERP and n.cad.
• Cabinet Vision (by Hexagon): Cabinet Vision is a CAD/CAM suite for cabinetry, closets, and woodworking shops. It targets the same craft and small-industrial customers as refyne's TrunCAD and n.cad products.
• Orgadata (Logikal): Orgadata's Logikal is the leading window, door, and facade construction software in DACH. It competes head-on with refyne's CAD-Plan and ATHENA products in the metal/facade niche.
• TopSolid: French-headquartered TopSolid offers CAD-CAM and ERP software for wood, metal, and stone fabrication. It is the closest direct competitor to refyne, addressing the same end-to-end process chain across similar vertical trades.
• Dietrich's AG: Dietrich's is a German provider of CAD/CAM software specialized in timber-frame construction, roof, and wall framing. It competes with refyne's n.cad and CAD-Plan in the structural timber and facade space.
• imos AG: imos AG provides CAD/CAM software for furniture, kitchen, and interior fitting, now owned by HOMAG. It directly overlaps with refyne's TrunCAD and n.cad offerings for the woodworking and furniture segments.
• Microvellum: Microvellum offers CAD/CAM and ERP for cabinetmaking and casework manufacturers in North America. It is functionally similar to TrunCAD and Triviso ERP for the woodworking segment.

Broad incumbents

• HOMAG Group: HOMAG is a leading global woodworking machinery manufacturer and parent of imos AG. Through both hardware and acquired software brands, it overlaps broadly with refyne's wood-construction portfolio and embedded OEM channel.
• Biesse Group: Biesse is a major Italian-based machinery manufacturer for wood, glass, stone, plastic, and metal processing. Its bSuite software and partnership with refyne create both competition and distribution overlap.
• SCM Group: SCM Group is a leading Italian woodworking machinery and software provider serving the same industrial furniture, door, and window manufacturers that refyne targets across DACH and broader Europe.
