Nemetschek Group is a vendor of software for architects, engineers and the construction industry. The company develops and distributes solutions for designing, building and managing buildings and real estate as well as multimedia. According to Nemetschek, the company with all of its subsidiaries serves customers in more than 142 countries (as of 2012).〔(nemetschek.com: customers in more than 142 countries )〕 == History == The company was founded by Prof. Georg Nemetschek in 1963 and went by the name of ''Ingenieurbüro für das Bauwesen'' (engineering firm for the construction industry), focusing on structural design. The engineering firm was one of the first companies in the industry to use computers and developed software for engineers, initially for its own requirements. In 1977 Nemetschek started distributing its ''program system Statik 97/77'' for civil engineering. At the Hanover Fair in 1980, Nemetschek presented a software package for the integrated calculation and design of standard components for solid construction. This was the first time that it was possible to use Computer-aided engineering (CAE) on microcomputers, and the product remained unique on the market for many years. In 1981 ''Nemetschek Programmsystem GmbH'' was founded and was responsible for software distribution; Georg Nemetschek’s engineering firm continued to be in charge of program development. The main product, Allplan – a CAD system for architects and engineers, was launched in 1984. This allowed designers to model buildings in three dimensions. Nemetschek began to expand internationally in the 80s: in 1996 the company had subsidiaries in eight European countries and distribution partners in nine countries in Europe, and since 1992 has also had an additional development site in Bratislava, Slovakia. The first acquisitions were made at the end of the 90s, e.g. the structural design program vendor ''Friedrich + Lochner''. The company, operating as Nemetschek AG since 1994, went public in 1999 and has been listed in the Prime Standard market segment in Frankfurt ever since. A series of company takeovers were to follow, the largest acquisitions including the American ''Diehl Graphsoft'' (now ''Vectorworks'') and ''MAXON Computer'' with its ''Cinema 4D'' software for visualization and animation. The next takeovers occurred in 2006 with the purchases of the Hungarian ''GRAPHISOFT'' and the Belgian ''SCIA International''. The eleventh brand, Nemetschek bim+ GmbH, was founded at the beginning of 2013. In November 2013 Nemetschek acquired the MEP solutions provider ''Data Design System'' (DDS).〔(Corporate News: Nemetschek successfully concludes acquisition of Data Design System (DDS) )〕 On 31 October 2014 the acquisition of ''Bluebeam Software'' was concluded.〔(Nemetschek successfully concludes acquisition of Bluebeam Software )〕 Among others, Nemetschek is a member of the ''BuildingSMART e.V. '' and the ''Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen'' (DGNB) (German Sustainable Building Council). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nemetschek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
