Anzu Partners Affiliate OK'd to Acquire ExOne

An affiliate of the U.S. industrial technology investor Anzu Partners has been approved by a U.S. court to acquire ExOne GmbH and ExOne KK (ExOne). After the court approval, which had no objections and is not expected to be subject to any appeals, the parties will start implementing the transaction.

 

ExOne is recognized as a flagship entity, known for its capabilities in digital sand casting with a focus on the foundry industry. As part of the transaction, Anzu is committed to ensuring continuity across operational areas.

Customers and suppliers of ExOne can expect collaboration, with existing relations, agreements, and service standards maintained, according to Anzu Partners. Eric Bader will continue as the managing director for ExOne GmbH, and Ken Yokoyama will continue as the managing director for ExOne KK.

“Since 1995, ExOne has been on a mission to deliver powerful industrial 3D printing solutions for castings and beyond—solutions that enable innovations,” says Eric Bader, managing director of ExOne GmbH. “Our industrial binder jet sand 3D printers are the world's most trusted systems that drive customer loyalty worldwide. We are excited to continue building on that foundation and driving the future of digital casting.”

“We recognize the strength of ExOne’s customer and supplier relationships,” says Whitney Haring-Smith, managing partner at Anzu Partners. “Our priority is to ensure stability, honor existing commitments, and continue building trusted partnerships as we move forward together.”
