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.
