en.Wedoany.com Reported - Belgian additive manufacturing contract manufacturer Amnovis has established a new operational entity in the United States and acquired the additive manufacturing business of Westconn Precision Technologies. The new production facility is located in North Webster, Indiana, within the medical device manufacturing corridor surrounding Warsaw. It is designed to serve as a mirror of the Belgian headquarters, ensuring both sites operate under the same quality management system, procedures, digital workflows, validation frameworks, and equipment strategy. The company states this move can reduce the supplier qualification burden for customers manufacturing across regions. The drivers for expansion include the size of the U.S. medical device market, growing demand for customized and time-sensitive applications, and the need for localized manufacturing capabilities. Chris Cook has been appointed General Manager of U.S. Operations, responsible for leading the launch of the new facility.

"Extending our operational footprint to the U.S. is a logical next step for Amnovis," said Ruben Wauthle, CEO and Co-founder of Amnovis. "Being close to the world's largest medical device market, specifically within the Indiana Warsaw ecosystem, allows us to better support customers who need reliable, high-quality additive manufacturing capabilities with minimal logistical complexity."

The acquisition of Westconn's additive manufacturing business brings hybrid manufacturing capabilities to Amnovis, combining metal additive manufacturing with traditional CNC and post-processing technologies. Jake Marasco, formerly Vice President of Sales and Operations at Westconn, has joined Amnovis to lead North American customer management and business development. He stated: "Westconn's additive manufacturing work has always centered on helping customers advance complex projects from the development stage to reliable production. Joining Amnovis provides a strong pathway to continue supporting these customers, with deeper additive manufacturing expertise, a broader global platform, and a clear commitment to building localized capabilities in the U.S." Wauthle added: "Acquiring Westconn's additive manufacturing business further solidifies Amnovis's position as a global partner for industrialized additive manufacturing. By aligning equipment strategies and technical expertise across both sites, we can scale our operating model globally while strengthening our metal additive manufacturing capabilities to support customers with the stability, scale, and technical depth they require."
