EOS acquires Metalpine to expand titanium AM powders
EOS GmbH, headquartered in Krailling, Germany, has acquired 100% of metal powder producer Metalpine GmbH, based in Graz, Austria. EOS has been a shareholder in the company for several years.
The acquisition will strengthen EOS’s strategic focus on materials, particularly in response to the growing demand for titanium Additive Manufacturing. The integration of Metalpine’s capabilities is intended to enable EOS to expand access to titanium powders produced through Metalpine’s patented wire-based gas atomisation process, noted for its consistency and performance in demanding industrial applications.
“For many years, Metalpine has been a strong and innovative partner to EOS,” stated Joachim Zettler, CTO of EOS. “By integrating Metalpine into EOS, we are taking the next logical step in our collaboration, strengthening our metal materials supply and accelerating innovation, particularly in titanium, where we see significant and sustained market demand.”
For customers, the acquisition is intended to strengthen EOS’s ability to deliver tightly integrated materials, parameters and process expertise. This may help manufacturers achieve faster qualification, improved process stability, and support the scaling of AM for serial production. Industries and applications reliant on titanium, including aerospace, medical, and high‑performance industrial applications, will gain greater access to high‑quality powders engineered for serial AM environments.
Metalpine will continue to operate as an independent company within EOS, maintaining its established brand, organisational structure, and business operations. The company will continue to serve its global customer base, including partners across the AM ecosystem, with its metal powders.
“During the past few years, we have built a rock-solid foundation with EOS,” said Gerald Pöllmann, CEO of Metalpine. “Becoming part of EOS is a natural progression of this partnership, enabling us to further develop our technologies and scale our capabilities while continuing to reliably serve customers worldwide.”
Dr Martin Dopler, CTO and Head of R&D at Metalpine, added, “Our patented process stands for exceptional powder quality and consistency. As part of EOS, we will further advance material innovation and support the growing requirements of industrial Additive Manufacturing, while continuing to provide our products to a broad market.”
