SoftMaker – About us 

Since 1987, the year when the company was founded, SoftMaker has been developing office software: word processing, spreadsheet, and database applications. The "flagship" product SoftMaker Office is available for a wide range of operating systems: Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, Pocket PCs, Windows CE, and Windows CE.

The prominent features of the software from SoftMaker are: intuitivity and ease of use, extremely high compatibility with the Microsoft Office file formats, and the sheer speed of the software – this, together with attractive pricing, is an unbeatable combination.

High-quality computer typefaces are the second pillar of SoftMaker's business. With the product lines MegaFont XXL and infiniType, home users and professional designers alike have affordable access to a first-class typeface collection.

Since its foundation, the SoftMaker Software GmbH has remained an independent company. Currently 17 employees are working at SoftMaker's Nürnberg offices. They are helped by 20 freelancers around the world.
