ExOne and voxeljet Are Now One Company in Germany

ExOne GmbH and voxeljet GmbH are now operating as a single legal entity. The entry was made in the German commercial register on August 13, 2026. Both companies were already owned by Anzu Partners after the investment firm acquired their assets in separate transactions during 2025. This step makes the combination formal.

The merged company will keep the ExOne GmbH name and remain headquartered in Gersthofen. Existing contracts, quotations, and non-disclosure agreements stay valid. Maintenance, spare parts, and support will continue without interruption. For customers, the practical change is that one point of contact now covers both technology portfolios.

Why bring them together? ExOne and voxeljet are two of the oldest names in industrial binder jetting, especially for sand 3D printing used in metal casting. ExOne has decades of experience in metal and sand binder jet systems. Voxeljet built its reputation on large-format sand and plastic printers, including High Speed Sintering and PMMA-based casting materials. Under one roof, the combined product line covers a wider range of build sizes, materials, and service capabilities.

The voxeljet brand is not disappearing entirely. It will continue to be used for PMMA and High Speed Sintering products. But legally and operationally, the two firms are now one.

This is part of a broader consolidation trend in additive manufacturing. After years of expansion and acquisition, the market is sorting itself out. Desktop Metal, which once owned ExOne, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2025. Nano Dimension took over Desktop Metal's remaining business, while Anzu Partners picked up ExOne GmbH and ExOne KK through a court-supervised process. Voxeljet had already delisted from Nasdaq and restructured under German law before Anzu acquired it.

Eric Bader, CEO of ExOne Global Holdings, framed the move as a people-driven integration rather than a paper exercise. The company says the combined team now represents more than three decades of binder jetting expertise. For foundries and industrial users, that depth matters. Binder jetting for sand cores and molds is not a casual purchase; buyers want assurance that the vendor will be around for service, spare parts, and process support.

The real test will come over the next year. Can the combined operation simplify a historically fragmented product lineup? Can it deliver faster support across the Americas, Europe, and Asia? If it can, this merger could become a template for how struggling AM hardware companies survive by joining forces.
