Three leading companies partner to serve UK, Ireland & GCC's additive manufacturing market

Three companies -- 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, the combined companies said in a statement, 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.

“This strategic alliance aims to deliver exceptional service and innovative solutions to our valued customers in these regions," said Marino Ferrarese, head of sales & marketing, ATLIX. "Together with Additure and Kingsbury, we are committed to fostering the growth of our customers through the adoption of our industrial-grade additive-manufacturing technology.”

Ian Brooks, technical director, Additure, added that the history and experience of the ATLIX organization, together with a renewed energy and agility within the sector, are what first attracted Additure.

"The scope of ATLIX’s machine portfolio to serve every sector is something that, I believe, is unparalleled in the industry, and we look forward to growing the industrial adoption of AM together with our current and future clients,” he said. 

Why this partnership works

ATLIX, formerly the additive-manufacturing division of TRUMPF, has launched under its new brand as it enters a new chapter of market agility and growth. ATLIX’s new flagship system, the TruPrint 5000, is designed for large-format, automated metal 3D printing production.

Kingsbury and Additure have a proven track record as the UK and Ireland’s additive manufacturing consultant and systems supplier, supporting a full end-to-end solution.

Together, the partnership offers customers in the UK, Ireland, and the GCC a one-stop channel, providing machines, installation, service, materials expertise, and aftermarket support from a single supplier.

What customers can expect 
From early 2026, customers across the United Kingdom, Ireland, and GCC regions will be able to:

• See ATLIX systems (including TruPrint 5000) in operation via open house and demonstration initiatives.
• Leverage ATLIX’s industrial heritage and global machine tool portfolio, combined with Kingsbury and Additure’s extensive customer and industry knowledge, and world-class support.
