Marine design software firm Cadmatic is bolstering its foothold in the US shipbuilding sector by increasing its local workforce, according to recent wire material. The company is confident in the potential for growth within the US market, which is driven by fleet renewal, naval procurement programs, and capacity investments. American shipyards are seeking solutions to reduce manual workload, enhance production planning accuracy, and maintain project timelines.
Cadmatic's software aligns with these requirements. CEO Detlef Schneider highlighted the US government's substantial investment in rebuilding its shipbuilding industry, emphasizing that Cadmatic's role is to provide the necessary digital infrastructure to effectively convert this capacity into functional vessels. The company plans to expand its US team by beginning recruitment for positions such as Hull and Outfitting Applications Specialists and Technical Account Managers in July 2026.
This move follows Cadmatic's existing support for customers in Vancouver, Canada, including notable partnership with Seaspan Shipyards, which has automated production workflows, resulting in a 75% reduction in manual planning effort. Juan Nunes Prieto, Cadmatic's Regional Sales Director, noted that American shipyards are investing in capacity at a scale not witnessed in decades and that the company is matching this ambition with a dedicated on-site support team.
Beyond assembly planning, Cadmatic offers expertise in hull design, outfitting, and digital access to 3D model data throughout a project's supply chain. The company is also investing heavily in AI for marine design and production, working collaboratively with shipyard customers within a secure, in-house environment to ensure data control, especially for sensitive naval programs.
Cadmatic's flexible Cadmatic One License model allows customers to access the necessary tools without the limitations of per-seat licensing, appealing to yards with fluctuating project volumes.
