EOS Invests $3 Million in Texas Manufacturing and Logistics Facilities

EOS announces the expansion of its U.S. manufacturing and logistics capabilities with a $3 million investment at its Pflugerville, TX, campus, and an opening of its new warehouse in Belton, TX. This marks a significant step in EOS’ plan to boost its U.S. manufacturing capacity, enabling regional production and faster delivery of its metal additive manufacturing systems to its North American customers. 

This expansion involves a reconfiguration of existing facilities as well as the opening of a new warehouse to support the expanded assembly of its EOS M 290-1, EOS M 290-2, and EOS M 400-4 systems. The expansion also includes a powder handling area and an in-house machine shop. Ten new jobs were also created at the Pflugerville production site, including operations, quality assurance, engineering, and machine commissioning functions. 

The expanded manufacturing area was enabled by EOS consolidating its North American warehouse and logistics into a new facility in Belton, TX. The 40,000-sq.-ft. facility will provide EOS’ U.S. customers with a larger spare parts, peripheral equipment, and product inventory. 

“Our Texas expansion enables us to scale North American metal AM assembly with both precision and consistency,” says Kent Firestone, senior vice president of Operations, EOS North America. “From optimizing our production areas to onboarding new team members, every step has been carefully designed to accelerate turnaround times while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect from EOS.”  

Though production capacity in Maisach, Germany, remains the cornerstone of EOS manufacturing, the company is strategically expanding its U.S. capabilities to ensure resilience and responsiveness to the needs of North American-based customers. The Pflugerville expansion builds on EOS’s U.S. presence, which includes: 

• EOS M 290 assembly 

• INTEGRA P 450 polymer AM system production in Texas 

• Advanced Laser Materials (ALM) polymer development and manufacturing in Temple, TX

• Nearly two decades of North American AM hardware, software, and materials expertise

"This expansion demonstrates our continued commitment to support the resurgence of American manufacturing," says Glynn Fletcher, president of EOS North America. "This manufacturing facility is not just an investment in our own infrastructure; it is also about standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S. manufacturing community to provide products and services for a superior customer experience. It demonstrates our dedication to the growing U.S. markets where our technology is in greatest demand. "
