Additure, Kingsbury, and ATLIX announce exclusive partnership for the UK, Ireland & GCC additive manufacturing markets
Published: | News
Kingsbury, one of the UK’s leading CNC machine tool suppliers, Additure, the additive manufacturing specialists, and ATLIX, the newly independent 3D metal printing brand, formerly TRUMPF Additive Manufacturing, announce a strategic alliance that will position Kingsbury as the exclusive dealer of ATLIX machines and services in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the GCC region.
Starting in January 2026, Kingsbury’s additive manufacturing arm, Additure, will take on full responsibility for the sales, installation, service, and aftermarket support of ATLIX’s industrial 3D metal printing systems in the designated territories.
This partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies: ATLIX strengthens its channel presence and market penetration in key geographies, while Kingsbury further enhances its additive manufacturing portfolio with a best-in-class machine tool brand and global backing.
