EOS Acquires Metalpine

EOS announces its acquisition of Metalpine GmbH, which specializes in quality metal powders. Until now, EOS as operated as a shareholder in Metalpine for several years, EOS has now acquired 100% of Metalpine.

Via this acquisition, EOS says it strengthens its strategic focus on materials, in response to the demand for titanium additive manufacturing (AM). The integration of Metalpine’s capabilities enables EOS to expand access to titanium powders produced through Metalpine’s atomization process.

“For many years, Metalpine has been a strong and innovative partner to EOS,” says Joachim Zettler, chief technology officer of EOS. “By integrating Metalpine into EOS, we are taking the next logical step in our collaboration, strengthening our metal materials supply and accelerating innovation, particularly in titanium, where we see significant and sustained market demand.”

The acquisition strengthens EOS’ ability to deliver integrated materials, parameters, and process expertise, assisting manufacturers in qualification, improved process stability, and scaleingadditive manufacturing into serial production. Industries and applications that rely on titanium (aerospace, medical, and high‑performance industrial applications) now garner greater access to high‑quality powders, EOS says.

Metalpine will continue to operate as an independent company within EOS, maintaining its brand, organizational structure, and business operations. The company will continue to serve its global customer base.

“During the past few years, we have built a rock-solid foundation with EOS,” says Gerald Pöllmann, CEO of Metalpine. “Becoming part of EOS is a natural progression of this partnership, enabling us to further develop our technologies and scale our capabilities while continuing to reliably serve customers worldwide.”

“Our patented process stands for exceptional powder quality and consistency," says Dr. Martin Dopler, chief technology officer and head of R&D at Metalpine. "As part of EOS, we will further advance material innovation and support the growing requirements of industrial additive manufacturing, while continuing to provide our products to a broad market.”
