A Personal Note from David Fairbanks, President of Microvellum

To my team, clients, and industry partners—I have some important news to share with you this morning.

Microvellum has always been driven by a mission to empower woodworkers with tools that make design, engineering, and manufacturing more efficient. Today, we take a monumental step forward. I’m thrilled to share that as of February 20, 2025, INNERGY has officially acquired Microvellum—unlocking new possibilities for our respective customers, our teams, and the industry as a whole.

Why We Are Joining Forces with INNERGY

Microvellum was started 30 years ago by a cabinet maker who had a vision—finding a better way to create shop drawings. That idea grew into a full design, drafting, engineering, and manufacturing platform that would change the game for wood product manufacturing. Around the same time, INNERGY was laying the groundwork for a world-class ERP solution. We may have started on separate paths, but it was only a matter of time before they crossed.

We’ve always known that design-for-manufacturing software alone won’t solve every challenge a cabinetmaker faces. And the same goes for ERP—neither one is enough on its own. The two need to work together to really make a difference. From the beginning, Microvellum’s vision was to build ERP functionality right into Microvellum, creating a seamless, all-in-one solution. We made progress, but tackling both worlds at the highest level was a tough challenge to take on alone.

Today, that vision is being realized. By joining forces with INNERGY, we are uniting the best-in-class design for manufacturing software with the best-in-class ERP system. This is a turning point for the entire industry.

What This Means for Our Customers

This partnership is all about creating opportunities for you. Many of our customers already use both Microvellum’s and INNERGY’s software, and this acquisition will strengthen product integration even further. In the coming months and years, you can expect:

A seamless connection between your engineering and business operations, bringing greater efficiency and clarity to your workflow.
Additional available resources for customers ready to incorporate ERP functionality into their businesses.
Continued investment in the development of Microvellum’s software, ensuring our tools remain at the forefront of innovation.

INNERGY already has a trusted, proven product integration with Microvellum. That means users who are ready to expand their business ERP capabilities can do so with confidence, knowing they have a seamless and reliable connection between their design and ERP software systems—without disrupting their current operations.

Most importantly, we’re not here to shake up what works. Both Microvellum and INNERGY will continue to operate independently, focusing on what each of us does best.

A Message to Our Team and Community

To our team—this moment is proof of everything we’ve built together. Since 2013, I’ve had the privilege of working with you all to rebuild, refine, and push Microvellum forward. In 2017, I took on the responsibility of leading Microvellum by purchasing the company from its founder. Now, we’re stepping into an exciting new chapter—one that strengthens our commitment to innovation and making a difference in this industry.

At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Be authentic. Create positive outcomes. Deliver rock-solid service. These aren’t just words—they’re what drive us every day. They shape how we work, how we serve you, and how we keep pushing this industry forward.

As I told our team, every major success story begins with someone choosing to start again. The best companies are built by those willing to leave their comfort zones. The greatest innovations come from those who dare to take risks. This is not about doing the same old thing—it’s about seizing new opportunities for leadership, career growth, and industry impact.

Instead of holding onto what is familiar, let’s reach for what’s possible. Let’s write the next chapter of Microvellum together—with INNERGY by our side, supporting our mission to give woodworkers the freedom and flexibility to create extraordinary things with ease.

What’s Next?

First, don’t worry—our team, our support, and our commitment to you aren’t changing. We’re still here, just with even more tools to help you succeed.

This is a big moment for all of us in the woodworking industry. We’re joining forces with a company whose vast expertise, passion, and innovation to push things forward matches ours. And the best part? We’re just getting started.

Here’s to what’s next—Microvellum’s best chapter yet.
