The acquisition brings CAD/CAM, integration and automation capabilities to Cyncly’s furniture manufacturing portfolio, connecting design, engineering and production in a more integrated workflow.
Cyncly, a global provider of software for the spaces-for-living industry, has acquired Imos, a German provider of CAD/CAM, integration and automation software for furniture manufacturing.
The acquisition adds Imos’ manufacturing capabilities to Cyncly’s furniture portfolio, strengthening the link between design, engineering and production for panel-based custom and semi-custom furniture.
Imos serves more than 5,000 manufacturers across 100 countries, ranging from craft businesses to large industrial producers. Its software enables manufacturers to turn design concepts into validated, parametric constructions and generate production-ready data, including optimised nesting and CNC-ready outputs.
Cyncly said the acquisition would strengthen its offering for furniture manufacturers of different sizes, from large enterprises to smaller cabinet and woodworking businesses.
The addition of Imos brings further engineering capabilities to the stage where design is translated into machine-ready production data. Cyncly said the combined platform could help manufacturers use production data to improve material usage, identify errors before production and increase manufacturing efficiency.
“Every furniture manufacturer is trying to connect design, engineering and production into one smooth process,” said Anand Krishnan, CEO of Cyncly. “Our ambition is to give them a single platform that does exactly that, and Imos is a major step towards it.”
Winfried Dell, CEO of Imos, said the company’s commitment to its customers and partners would remain unchanged following the acquisition.
“As part of Cyncly, we can combine the strengths and expertise of both companies to accelerate innovation, expand the value we deliver, and support our customers even more effectively as their businesses evolve,” he said.
Andrea Gnoato, general manager of Cyncly’s kitchen, bathroom and furniture manufacturing solutions, said the acquisition would build on the companies’ existing integration following years of collaboration.
“The gap between a finished design and a machine-ready file is where manufacturers lose the most time and accuracy, and that is exactly the gap Imos closes,” he said. “For those already using our manufacturing solutions it means we keep investing in the products they depend on, while adding capability across their entire workflow.”
Cyncly added that Imos customers would gain access to its global resources, AI-driven development and research and development investment. Imos will also continue to operate with its existing teams and customer support, while gaining additional resources to develop its product roadmap.
