Symetri, part of the Design Management division, announces today that it has signed an agreement to acquire FF Solutions (FFS) in Brazil. FFS is one of Brazil's largest Autodesk partners with a competitive offer spanning technology, consulting and education solutions to the country's rapidly growing building, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. FFS' net sales 2025 is expected to amount to SEK 90 m.
Founded in 1995 and based in São Paulo, FFS has expanded its market share in recent years. Combining a strong portfolio of technology solutions with proven industry expertise, it empowers customers to create value and advance their digital transformation. This profile makes FFS a perfect fit for Symetri, providing entry to the dynamic Brazilian market, access to local talent, and a platform that creates an opportunity to introduce Symetri's own portfolio of productivity and sustainability solutions such as Naviate, Sovelia and CQ to a new market. Furthermore, FSS's network of industry experts has the potential to become an asset for Symetri's customers in other markets, with its team available to offer support and additional expertise as needed.
"The team at FFS have captured our enthusiasm with their ambition, technical expertise and diversity. Not only do we believe we can accelerate the work they are doing with their clients, we also believe they will challenge us to innovate faster and raise the bar on creativity and impact", says Jens Kollserud, CEO of Symetri, a company in Addnode Group's Design Management division.
"Joining forces with Symetri gives us the opportunity to deliver even greater value to our clients, helping to create smarter, more liveable cities and a more advanced, globally competitive manufacturing sector. Together we will be able to support our customers in their ambition to work smarter and more sustainably", says Marilia Frazillio, CEO and owner of FFS.
For Symetri, having moved into the US market in 2022 with the acquisition of Microdesk and Team D3 the following year, this move into the Latin American market represents yet another important milestone in the company's growth journey.
The acquisition is not subject to any completion conditions. Completion is expected to take place on 1 August 2025, and FFS will be consolidated as part of Symetri in Addnode Group's division Design Management.
