– We have been looking for the right new owner who shares our vision and beliefs and who represents a new generation that can take over the leadership of the business for the decades to come. I am happy to announce that the industrial owner company Vind will become a 78% owner of StruSoft and that Dennis Kristensen, currently VP of StruSoft Denmark, will be taking over after me as the CEO, said StruSoft’s CEO Paul Rehn.
Vind is a very long-term oriented owner in private and public businesses within software, life science and other sectors. Paul Rehn and other members of the management will remain co-shareholders of StruSoft. Paul Rehn will continue to work as Head of Business Development and will also be a member of the board of the company.
– StruSoft is attractively positioned as the market leader in the Nordics with its FEM Design structural design software and IMPACT precast concrete software, with many further excellent software products and services on offer and in development. The aim of StruSoft to widen its geographic coverage and to launch new products, such as the BIM Energy platform for the simulation of the energy use of buildings, is well aligned with our desire to contribute to progress and sustainable growth for the very long term, said Vind’s CEO Harald Høegh.
