Industrial 3D printer manufacturer, EnvisionTEC is moving eastward, bringing its patented DLP, 3SP™ (Scan, Spin and Selectively Photocure), and bioprinting technology to several key countries in Asia. Through a partnership with DKSH Business Unit Technology, EnvisionTEC will make its way into Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam.
EnvisionTEC is known for its fast, high-resolution DLP and 3SP 3D printers, as well as its 3D-Bioplotter system. Used in a range of industries, including design, dental, medical, and electronic applications, EnvisionTEC’s technology is connected to over 90 different patents. Now, DKSH Business Unit Technology will bring EnvisionTEC’s portfolio to the aforementioned countries, providing the marketing, sales, and after-sales services to the company’s customers.
Vice President of Asia Sales and New Market Development at EnvisionTEC, Sobhi Aris, said of the deal, “DKSH is going to be a strong partner to expand our distribution channels in Asia. This agreement represents an opportunity for mutual growth and we look forward to working with DKSH to broaden our market share in their region.”
Hanno Elbraechter, Head Business Unit Technology for DKSH, added, “It is a privilege for us to partner with a highly innovative company like EnvisionTEC. Thanks to our unmatched Asian footprint, we can leverage our size, experience and industry know-how to provide tailored services and exceptional distribution opportunities for EnvisionTEC.”
The news not only expands the company’s presence in the Asia Pacific region, but the 3D printing industry in the Asia Pacific region as a whole. If you’ve been following 3DPI for the past couple of years, you’ll notice that many government initiatives have begun cropping up in countries like Singapore and Taiwan, funding growth of the industry in the region as local manufacturers, too, see growing business opportunities surrounding the technology.
