Today, an affiliate of the US industrial technology investor Anzu Partners has been approved by a US court to acquire ExOne GmbH and ExOne KK, which provides customers, suppliers, and employees stability and consistency of operations going forward. Following the court approval, which had no objections and is not expected to be subject to any appeals, the parties will now begin implementing the transaction.

ExOne is recognized as a flagship entity, known for its global leadership in digital sand casting with a strong focus on the foundry industry. As part of the transaction, Anzu has expressed a strong commitment to ensure continuity across operational areas.

Customers and suppliers of ExOne can expect consistent service and ongoing collaboration, with existing relations, agreements, and service standards maintained. Eric Bader will continue as the managing director for ExOne GmbH, and Ken Yokoyama will continue as the managing director for ExOne KK.

“Since 1995, ExOne has been on a mission to deliver powerful industrial 3D printing solutions for castings and beyond – solutions that enable innovations,” said Eric Bader, Managing Director of ExOne GmbH. “Our industrial binder jet sand 3D printers are the world's most trusted systems that drive customer loyalty worldwide. We are excited to continue building on that foundation and driving the future of digital casting.”

“We recognize the strength of ExOne’s customer and supplier relationships,” said Whitney Haring-Smith, Managing Partner at Anzu Partners. “Our priority is to ensure stability, honor existing commitments, and continue building trusted partnerships as we move forward together.”
