This strategic acquisition positions ALLPLAN to accelerate the digitalization of the construction market and capitalize on the potential growth in the modular construction and Design for Manufacturing (DfMA) sectors.
“We are delighted to welcome the Manufacton team to the ALLPLAN family,” said Eduardo Lazzarotto, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at ALLPLAN. “Manufacton is a great fit and a perfect complement to our existing portfolio of construction solutions. This acquisition enhances our expertise in covering the entire product lifecycle and gives us a strong competitive advantage in the rapidly growing modular construction and DfMA markets.”

The Rise of Modular Construction and DfMA in AEC
Recent market trends indicate a promising future for modular construction and DfMA within the AEC industry. With labor and housing shortages driving the adoption of modular construction methods and a growing focus on decarbonization and sustainability optimization, the industry is rapidly moving towards modern construction methods and offsite fabrication.
Manufacton aligns perfectly with this industry trend by providing integrated project management software for offsite construction and prefabrication. Their solution, utilized by general and specialty trade contractors, as well as modular builders, combines the best of manufacturing production and construction project management software. This enables contractors to seamlessly manage and track offsite construction and modular fabrication throughout the construction process.
In addition to providing significant growth opportunities, the acquisition of Manufacton creates technology synergies by improving market and customer access. It also strengthens ALLPLAN’s position in the US market, while providing Manufacton with a platform to expand its presence in Europe and Asia Pacific.
