Cyncly, a global provider of AI-driven software for the interiors industry, has announced the acquisition of imos, a provider of CAD/CAM, integration and automation software for the furniture manufacturing industry.
Headquartered in Germany, imos is known for its industry expertise and manufacturing software for panel-based custom and semi-custom furniture. imos serves more than 5,000 manufacturers across 100 countries, from craft businesses to large industrial producers.
The acquisition strengthens Cyncly’s furniture-manufacturing portfolio, which serves manufacturers at every scale. Cyncly says rhe addition of imos brings "complementary know-how and deep engineering capabilities, adding depth in the critical step where design becomes machine-ready.
"For manufacturers, this means a more connected, end-to-end, AI-ready workflow – one that can draw on real production data to optimise material usage, catch errors before they reach the machine, and move more orders through production faster. Together, these capabilities move Cyncly closer to its vision of becoming the single, AI-enabled manufacturer platform that supports customers across their entire workflow, from initial design through to final production".
Anand Krishnan, CEO of Cyncly, comments: "Every furniture manufacturer is trying to connect design, engineering and production into one smooth process. Our ambition is to give them a single platform that does exactly that, and imos is a major step toward it. imos is the leading provider of CAD/CAM, integration and automation technology in the industry, supporting the engineering middle of manufacturers' workflows, which means what a designer creates is precisely what the machine produces. Together, we'll help the entire furniture manufacturing industry run more accurately and efficiently."
Winfried Dell, CEO of imos, adds: “imos has always grown in close partnership with its customers and partners, and that commitment remains unchanged. 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.”
