Ringing the Bell in Frankfurt: Sirma Group's Dual Listing and What It Means for EngView
Today, February 24, 2026, marks a historic milestone for Sirma Group — and for all of us at EngView Systems. As part of the Sirma family, we are proud to share that Sirma Group Holding AD [BSE: SIRM] is officially live on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE), completing a dual listing that opens a new chapter in the group's growth story. The bell was rung in Frankfurt by Sirma Group CEO Tsvetan Alexiev, EngView Systems CEO Georgi Marinov, Director of R&D Veselin Kirov, and other leaders from across the group — a proud tradition symbolizing new beginnings and the recognition of meaningful achievement. From Sofia to Frankfurt This dual listing on the EuroBridge platform, connecting the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, was approved by the Financial Supervision Commission in October 2025. The formal contract with Deutsche Börse AG was signed on January 8, 2026, setting today as the official start of trading. To be admitted to the FSE, Sirma met strict requirements around financial reporting, corporate governance, and transparency. It is an achievement that very few Bulgarian technology companies have reached. Stock of the YearThe timing of this listing comes on the heels of strong recognition for Sirma Group. At the Bulgarian Stock Exchange's 25th annual awards ceremony, Sirma was named "Stock of the Year" by Investor.bg and received the SOFIX award for the largest price increase in 2025 — an impressive +103%. What it means? The dual listing reflects Sirma Group's long-term commitment to transparency, access to international capital markets, and sustainable growth across Europe and beyond. After more than a decade as a publicly listed company serving an increasingly international client base, this move is a natural evolution and a statement of intent. © Photo credits: Martin Joppen (DE)Read MoreEngView Package Designer Training at CIPFP Ciutat de l’Aprenent, Valencia, Spain

We’re excited to announce the release of EngView Package & Display Designer 2026, the latest edition of our industry-leading software for packaging design and production optimization. This version introduces powerful new tools that make your everyday work more customizable, efficient, and precise - helping your team save time, reduce errors, and boost productivity. "Version 2026 brings an expanded parametric library with new box and display templates, richer cost modeling from OneUp drawings, and smarter handling of mirrored shapes. This release continues our tradition of incremental improvements, with more exciting updates coming throughout the year, stay tuned!" - Valentin Vachkov, Product Manager. Customized Workflows with Calculated Properties Understanding that no two packaging companies operate identically, EngView has introduced Calculated Properties in version 2026, a feature that allows users to create custom, automatically updating metrics specific to their business requirements. The feature operates seamlessly within the design process. Once a user defines a calculated property, the software automatically computes and updates the value with each modification to the structure. These properties appear in the parameters section and can be incorporated into any document generated from the design. A practical application involves displaying outside dimensions in print frames when working with designs based on inside dimensions. Rather than manual calculation, the outside dimensions become a calculated property that updates automatically, eliminating errors and saving valuable time. Control over Material Production Side Version 2026 introduces the Inverted Production Side feature. It allows EngView to meet a new trend in the packaging industry – to produce boxes from the “wrong” side of material, while maintaining the standard workflow. Previously, materials had a default production side. Now, users can specify which side of the material should be used for cutting and printing operations with the 3D visualization and folding sequences updating accordingly. The ability to switch between front and rear production sides gives greater flexibility to meet modern packaging production demands. Efficiency Through Symmetry – Flipped Structure Feature One of the most time-saving additions to version 2026 is the Flipped Structure feature, designed specifically for symmetrical packaging and display designs. This tool allows designers to create mirrored versions of boxes or display components with complete automatic synchronization. The efficiency gains are substantial. Any modifications made to the original drawing are instantly applied to the flipped version in both 2D and 3D, eliminating the need to duplicate work and reducing the potential for errors. As EngView holds the regular and the flipped structure in separate articles, each of them carries its own artwork. Beyond time savings, this feature contributes directly to sustainability goals by optimizing sheet utilization. By efficiently arranging flipped designs, companies can produce more packaging units from a single sheet of material, minimizing waste and reducing material costs. Library Design Links – Better Collaboration EngView 2026 now assigns a unique URL to every design in the library, making sharing effortless. Send a link via email or chat, and your clients or teammates can view designs instantly in their browser. This streamlines communication in both directions, whether you're presenting options to customers or they're referencing designs back to you. For version 2026, we have expanded the Parametric Library with over 80 new industry-standard templates. These additions cover three key categories: Folding Carton, Corrugated Board, and ICB. Designers now have access to a broader range of ready-to-use structures for packaging, displays, and furniture applications. Upgrade Today EngView Package & Display Designer Version 2026 is designed to put more control, flexibility, and efficiency into your hands. Whether you’re optimizing production, customizing workflows, or collaborating with customers, this release gives you the tools to deliver packaging solutions smarter and faster. Download the 2026 release for Windows and macOS. And this is just the beginning! More is on the way. EngView 2026 continues to evolve beyond this release.
