CAD-PLAN was founded in 1989 with the objective of providing a specially tailored CAD system for designers and planners in the fields of metal construction and facade technology. Since then CAD-PLAN has been growing steadily and today is one of the most innovative and internationally orientated companies in the CAD sector for metal construction and facade technology. As a company location CAD-PLAN intentionally sought out the urban East End in Frankfurt, more precisely the creative mile of the Hanauer Landstraße within sight of the European Central Bank. One reason for this was the high concentration of IT enterprises, which encourages innovation. And DE-CIX, the world’s largest Internet node in terms of data throughput, is located here.
