Graphisoft acquires Abvent in a sale and purchase agreement with AV-Tech Group, for France and French-speaking Switzerland
Graphisoft’s acquisition of Abvent is another milestone in the company’s journey as a leading global player in the AEC industry.
Strengthening Graphisoft’s position as one of the leading software providers for the AEC industry
Viktor Várkonyi, chief division officer, planning & design division of the Nemetschek Group, commented: “France and the French-speaking parts of Switzerland are two of Europe’s most influential markets in the AEC industry.
“Abvent has been a strong partner for us in these important markets. Their expertise will strengthen our positioning as one of the leading software providers for the AEC industry – and the acquisition will leverage our go to market expertise and bring us closer to the needs of our customers.”
Abvent has been Graphisoft’s distributor in France since 1985 and in French-speaking Switzerland since 1991, offering award-winning software solutions and high-quality support and training to thousands of architects.
The non-Graphisoft businesses from Abvent will be moved into a separate legal entity. The deal is expected to close in the next several weeks, when Abvent’s Archicad business units — including market relationships, employees, and assets — will become part of Graphisoft.
