PostProcess Technologies has secured two new regional channel partnerships within the United States, to better serve its users of additive manufacturing technology in the southern regions of the United States.
The partnerships concern the south-east US and the south-west US. In the south-east, Prototyping Solutions and Technical Training Aids will help PostProcess target industry players and serve the education market. They are 3D printing and 3D scanning distributors of high repute, and among the largest Stratasys resellers in North America. Meanwhile in the south-west, TekPro Group will begin to represent PostProcess, putting into action a highly experienced team that has installed and provided support for more than 700 3D printers.
PostProcess has sought to partner with these organisations in a bid to expands its presence in the US, meeting a growing demand for its products. The company has delivered to market a range of machines designed to assist manufacturers with support removal and surface finishing of additively manufactured parts. These products will now be accessible to a wider range of AM users.
“Bringing PostProcess into our portfolio solves a major problem our customers have experienced for years at our hundreds of printer installations,” commented Eddie Haneburth of Prototyping Solutions. “We’re excited to be one of the first on-board and finally offer our users a forward-thinking, comprehensive technology solution for their post-print bottleneck.”
“With our combined decades of experience in additive manufacturing, we’re thrilled to support PostProcess as they expand their market reach,” said Jack Lisinski of TekPro Group. “PostProcess’ innovative approach with a software-based, hands-free, automated system offering repeatable, consistent finishing of parts is a game-changer for the market.”
The partnerships will see PostProcess conduct joint marketing and sales activities, while Prototyping Solutions, Technical Training Aids and TekPro Group become authorised key agents in their respective regions, extending PostProcess’ reach and better serving their collective customer bases.
“With a number of proven applications now established in key markets such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and consumer goods, PostProcess is laser-focused on delivering significant growth in 2018,” said Jeff Mize, CEO, PostProcess. “As we continue to pioneer the automated post-printing space with our comprehensive software, hardware and chemistry solutions, having well-established partners in place that can extend the reach of our rapidly growing business is essential.”
