Trumpf 3D Printing Business Sold to Lenbach Equity Opportunities III

Aligned with its strategy of investing in high-potential industrial assets, the Lenbach Equity Opportunities III Fund has inked an agreement with TRUMPF to buy the additive manufacturing (laser metal fusion / powder bed fusion) business. The transaction highlights DUBAG’s role as a partner for large corporations in executing carve-outs.

Realignment of the Business 

The new group aims to establish itself as a internationally operating solution provider for metallic 3D printing. Its focus will be on the development, manufacturing, implementation, and sales of solutions that go beyond delivery of machines. As part of the carve-out, internal structures and processes will be simplified. Customers will have access to new equipment and also have access to extensive application consulting, process development, automation solutions, and integration concepts covering the  value chain.

In particular, the specific requirements of OEMs and their suppliers in the aerospace and medical technology industries will be addressed, as well as those of specialized contract manufacturers focusing on industrial series production in metal 3D printing. The future market strategy targets the aerospace, medical technology, dental, and general industrial sectors.
