London, UK, 4 March 2025 – European software provider Forterro has successfully completed its acquisition of Orgadata AG, following regulatory approval, marking a major milestone in the company’s expansion into the window, door and façade industry. This deal follows the recent acquisition of BM Group, further strengthening Forterro’s footprint in the fenestration software market and creating significant opportunities for innovation and market growth.
A new era for Orgadata and BM Group
With the completion of the Orgadata acquisition, Forterro now officially integrates Logikal, Orgadata’s market-leading software for designing, calculating and producing windows, doors and curtain walls, into its software portfolio. At the same time, the addition of BM Group, the UK and Ireland’s leading fenestration software provider, brings complementary solutions such as Evolution and Touch, solidifying Forterro’s position as a dominant player in the industry.
“This marks an exciting new chapter for Forterro,” said Marcus Pannier, President for all Lines of Business within Forterro. “With Orgadata and BM Group now part of Forterro, we have an unmatched ability to serve the windows and doors market with industry-leading software technology. The combination of Logikal’s global footprint and BM Group’s expertise in fabrication and order processing solutions creates an incredible synergy that will drive digitalisation and efficiency for our customers.”
Unlocking new opportunities for customers
Entering a new market is a strategic move that enhances Forterro’s capabilities, market reach and innovation potential. Orgadata’s strong presence across Germany and international markets, combined with BM Group’s deep expertise in the UK and Ireland, will enable Forterro to support manufacturers across multiple geographies with cutting-edge solutions.
“Together, we are creating a stronger, more connected ecosystem for the fenestration industry,” said Bernd Hillbrands, Founder of Orgadata and Managing Director of this newly created Line of Business for Forterro. “Our goal is to continue innovating and providing customers with the best tools to digitalise their workflows, improve efficiency and stay competitive in an evolving market.”
A shared vision for growth and innovation
Forterro’s expansion into the window, door and façade industry reflects its broader mission of powering the businesses that power the future. With an emphasis on scalability, customer success and software excellence, Forterro will continue investing in its newly acquired companies to accelerate their growth and enhance their product offerings.
“2025 is set to be a year of growth and transformation,” added Marcus Pannier. “Our commitment to supporting small and mid-sized craft and industrial businesses remains at the heart of everything we do. With Orgadata and BM Group, we are not just expanding our portfolio—we are reinforcing our ability to deliver meaningful solutions that help our customers succeed.”
With both acquisitions now finalised, Forterro is positioned as a leading software provider in the fenestration sector, setting the stage for continued growth, innovation and customer success in the years ahead.
