READY FOR TOMORROW’S MANUFACTURING: EOS PRESENTS VISIONARY INDUSTRIAL 3D PRINTING SOLUTIONS

EOS continues with success and growth, as industrial 3D printing shapes the future of manufacturing through increased automation and productivity

Singapore, 9 November, 2016 – EOS, the global technology and quality leader for high-end Additive
Manufacturing (AM) solutions, will present its latest portfolio of additive
manufacturing and software solutions for the polymer and metal segment, along
with many different service and consulting products, at formnext 2016. EOS will showcase industrial 3D
printing solutions which companies can integrate as a key element in their
existing and future manufacturing methods. EOS will be exhibiting in Hall 3.1,
Booth G70 under the motto ‘Shaping the future of manufacturing’. Formnext takes
place from 15 to 18 November 2016.

EOS creates the basis for AM serial production

EOS’ Additive Manufacturing technology has proven its worth for numerous
customers across a number of industries – whether complex lightweight
structures, reductions in costs through functional integration, product
individualisation or accelerated product development and
production. Industrial 3D printing has now reached serial production. This
brings with it new customer demands and calls for corresponding solutions. It
is not so much a question of where additive can replace conventional
manufacturing, but rather its integration in existing production environments
and with conventional manufacturing technologies. With new solutions in the
fields of High Productivity Platforms, Excellent Processing, Connected
Manufacturing as well as Service und Consulting, EOS provides the basis to help
achieve the next level of Additive Manufacturing. 

Dr Adrian Keppler, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at EOS, commented: “For
more than 25 years, EOS has been instrumental in the development of AM as a
technology pioneer and a leading company in the field of Direct Metal Laser
Sintering as well as the provider of a key polymer technology. The industry is
now at the next big stage of development: integrating AM in existing and future
production environments, with the aim of further optimising the flow of parts
and data in serial production. The combination of additive and subtractive
manufacturing steps plays a key role here. EOS remains a reliable partner and
advisor for its customers. Our latest product premieres at formnext will help
shape the future of manufacturing by accelerating integration, automation and
productivity.”

EOS business year 2015/2016: strong growth and technological leadership

The positive attitude to the future is nurtured by the success of the
company so far – EOS remains on course for continued growth. The company was
able to increase its turnover by 20 percent over the previous business year to
around 315 million euros. Over this period, EOS delivered approximately 450
systems, so that, as per October 2016, around 2,400 EOS systems have been installed
worldwide.

This business success is also reflected in the continued growth of the
company worldwide. In May 2016, EOS extended its presence in the USA and opened
a new office in Pflugerville, Texas. The construction of the additional company
building is making rapid progress at the headquarters in Krailling, a further
location to expand the technology plants will be opened in Maisach, Germany
next year.

EOS has further increased its workforce, hiring 250 additional experts
since October last year to support the continued growth of the business and AM
solutions worldwide. This means that by the end of this year EOS will employ
1,000 people worldwide.
