AEC named official Meltio US sales partner
Meltio, based in Linares, Spain, has appointed Automation Engineering Company (AEC), Greer, South Carolina, USA, as an official Meltio sales and integration partner, playing a key role in the distribution, system integration, and support of Meltio’s metal Additive Manufacturing solutions across the US market.
As both a sales partner and systems integrator, AEC will focus on building a strong industrial ecosystem for Meltio’s technology in the US, driving business opportunities in collaboration with technology centres, machine tool builders, robotic integrators, academic institutions, and industrial customers. This approach ensures that Meltio’s solutions are effectively integrated into automated and production-ready manufacturing environments.
Bobby Larmer, CEO of AEC, shared, “By combining AEC’s deep experience in advanced robotic welding and turnkey automation systems with Meltio’s blue-laser, wire-fed metal 3D printing technology, we can deliver practical, production-ready additive solutions. This welding-wire-based process gives manufacturers a safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective path to high-deposition, near-net-shape production, repair, and hybrid manufacturing. It’s a strong fit with our mission to engineer real-world solutions that improve performance, flexibility, and ROI for our customers.”
Meltio states that the partnership with AEC represents a strategic step in expanding its presence in the US market. Meltio’s technology is already deployed in industrial environments across the country, supporting production for a range of manufacturers in demanding sectors, including oil & gas, energy, and heavy industry. These deployments demonstrate how wire-laser metal AM delivers reliable, scalable, and production-ready results, helping manufacturers reduce lead times, optimise material usage, and increase overall operational efficiency in challenging industrial settings.
