Gosforth’s Symetri bought by Swedish computer aided design outfit

Gosforth-headquartered IT firm Symetri have been acquired by Swedish computer aided design specialists Cad-Q, part of the Addnode Group.

The deal, with Symetri owners Airbus Defense and Space, is expected to create a centre of mechanical CAD excellence in the UK.

Symetri director Colin Watson said: “As 3D CAD matures, resellers need a wider range of skills and areas of specialised knowledge to meet the business requirements of today’s discerning clients.

“Cad-Q has the background in data management, software development, PLM and systems integration necessary to help ensure continued success for both Symetri and its customers.

“In return, Symetri represents Cad-Q’s first investment outside Scandinavia and offers Cad-Q access, for its own range of products and services, to a large base of Autodesk manufacturing customers in the UK.”
