Nemetschek North America Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Nemetschek North America has announced its twentieth year as a leading developer of CAD solutions for the AEC, entertainment, landscape design, and manufacturing industries. In a highly-competitive market that has witnessed the demise of other CAD companies, Nemetschek North America has enjoyed two decades of innovation and growth.
Nemetschek North America, formerly Diehl Graphsoft, was established in 1985 by founder and chairman of the board, Richard Diehl, when he identified a niche in the CAD market. Mr. Diehl recognized the need for an easy-to-use, high-quality, yet cost-effective CAD solution for the Macintosh community. The company's flagship program, VectorWorks, formerly MiniCAD, has evolved over the years to become the best selling CAD program on the Mac and a leader in the Windows market since it became cross platform in 1996.
VectorWorks was quickly adopted as an international bestseller and became one of the most popular CAD programs in Japan, Europe, and North America. Even though it enjoyed an early international success, it soon became clear that there was another niche in the market-a growing demand for highly specific CAD solutions. In January 2000, the VectorWorks Industry Collection was born with the introduction of Architect, closely followed by Landmark, Spotlight, and Mechanical. Each product was designed to address the explicit needs of designers in their respective fields.
"Our longevity can be attributed to our commitment to our users to provide them with a clear, competitive advantage by delivering CAD software and services that excel in four abilities: usability, affordability, adaptability, and availability," says Sean Flaherty, newly-appointed CEO, Nemetschek North America. "We look forward to another twenty years of further strengthening our position as a global leader in the CAD industry."
Nemetschek North America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of European software giant Nemetschek AG. A global leader in design technologies, Nemetschek N.A. has been developing CAD software for the AEC, entertainment, landscape design, and manufacturing fields since 1985.
VectorWorks, its flagship product, is one of the world's best-selling cross-platform CAD applications.It is available in more than 85 countries and is translated into seven languages. An all-in-one solution that's easier to learn and use and morecost-effective than most other CAD programs, VectorWorks is ideal for firms that don't have unlimited IT budgets.
