The Vienna-based company Die Werkbank was integrated into the Drees & Somme Group on January 1, 2022. The acquisition included the company’s subsidiary Next IT Services Ltd., based in Sofia, Bulgaria. The business combination allows Drees & Sommer to further expand its competence in the digital field. The new colleagues from Next IT Services Ltd. will significantly broaden the in-house expertise of the Group in the area of CAD, BIM, VR and AR.
Die Werkbank specializes in digital solutions for planning, construction and operation processes in the building sector. The company is already successfully offering building information modeling (BIM) products and is well represented on the relevant markets in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The Bim & More tool, for example, is a BIM plug-in solution that offers planners access to up-to-date product information provided by manufacturers.
Werkbank IT GmbH will operate on the market under the joint management of the current CEO Matthias Uhl and Patrick Theis from Drees & Sommer. The company will continue to develop its own product portfolio under its own brand.
