Sandvik has agreed to acquire US-based Cambrio, which offers an end-to-end portfolio in CAD/CAM software for manufacturing industries.

"This is in line with our strategic focus to grow organically and through acquisitions in the advanced manufacturing space, with special focus on industrial software close to component manufacturing, industrial metrology- and additive manufacturing solutions," said Stefan Widing, president and CEO of Sandvik. "Cambrio will enable a broadened customer offering, covering more of the total manufacturing value chain."

Sandvik's strategic ambition is to provide customers with software solutions enabling automation of the full component manufacturing value chain – from design and planning to preparation, production and verification. Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) plays a vital role in the digital manufacturing process, creating an offer of automated solutions from design to machining. By acquiring Cambrio, Sandvik will establish a position in the CAM market that includes toolmaking, general-purpose machining and sheet metal fabrication

Cambrio's product portfolio includes GibbsCAM for production milling, turning, and mill turn operations, Cimatron for mold and die design and manufacturing, as well as SigmaNEST for sheet metal fabrication.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021.
