Uniting forces: Cadgroup and Cadpro merge to become Australasia’s first dual Platinum Partner
Enhanced support and service delivery for clients across Australasia following the Cadgroup - Cadpro merger.
Auckland, New Zealand, 14/10/2025 - In a significant move to strengthen client outcomes, Cadgroup Australia, Cadpro Australia and Cadpro New Zealand today announced a strategic merger, bringing together two of the most trusted Autodesk Platinum Partners in the region.
The merger unites two client-focused organisations with decades of experience in the CAD, CAM, BIM, and digital construction sectors. Their combined vision is to deliver exceptional service, enhance capability, and provide premium support across Australasia.
Under the consolidation, Cadpro Australia will cease operations, and Cadpro Australia customers will be managed by Cadgroup going forward. Cadpro New Zealand will retain its existing customer base under the same Cadpro New Zealand brand.
“Cadgroup & Cadpro have both demonstrated their customer centric approach, providing first in class service to the customers for over 35+ years. This merger reflects our commitment to expanding our services to a broader customer base across ANZ.” explains Director and CEO of Cadgroup + Cadpro, Ibrahim Thanawalla.
Hans Grootegoed, Founder and former Managing Director of Cadpro describes the new evolution as, “A moment of immense pride and reflection. Building Cadpro over the past three decades has been an incredible journey. Joining Cadgroup marks a new chapter for the business, one that will bring even greater opportunities for clients and staff.”
Together, we’re better positioned to support innovation, collaboration, and growth in the AEC and manufacturing sectors. Current and future clients of both organisations can expect:
- Enhanced technical capability: Greater support and efficiency, combined expertise, shared resources and extended service hours across Australasia.
- Brand continuity and integrity: Each organisation will retain its established brand identity, Cadgroup in Australia and Cadpro in New Zealand, ensuring trusted relationships and local familiarity are preserved.
- Unmatched dual Platinum Partner status: The only Autodesk partner holding Platinum accreditation in both Australia and New Zealand, delivering a unique level of reach and dependability.
“In striving for the best client outcomes, both businesses have reached Platinum Partner status in their respective markets” adds Shane Beaman, General Manager at Cadpro. “Together, we’re now positioned to offer our clients unparalleled capability, consistency, and confidence across the region.”
Cadgroup and Cadpro would like to reassure all clients their aim is to eliminate disruption of services as the two brands align and evolve. Maintaining a continuous focus on strong relationships and delivering positive results.
