en.Wedoany.com Reported - Stratasys announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire MarkForged, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nano Dimension, in an all-cash transaction valued at $42.5 million, subject to customary adjustments. The deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
In 2025, Markforged generated approximately $70 million in revenue, with its metal binder jetting product line retained by Nano Dimension. Markforged is a leading provider of end-to-end Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) solutions, with its integrated platform, "The Digital Forge," seamlessly combining hardware, proprietary materials, and secure software, including simulation, part management, and automatic print optimization capabilities. By leveraging continuous carbon fiber technology, the company enables industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and food & beverage to produce parts that are lighter and stronger than traditional FFF alternatives.
The transaction expands Stratasys' distribution channels and extends its existing capabilities within these industries, further strengthening the company's go-to-market strategy. Dr. Yoav Zeif, CEO of Stratasys, stated that at a time when additive manufacturing is increasingly replacing traditional manufacturing for demanding production applications, this acquisition enhances the company's ability to serve customers in critical sectors such as defense and aerospace. He believes that by adding Markforged's products and software systems and leveraging the partner network, the team can immediately reinvigorate revenue growth and solidify the company's position in high-performance industries where supply chain resilience, reliability, and scalability are paramount.
According to the announcement, the acquisition is expected to yield multiple benefits: continuous carbon fiber technology will complement Stratasys' existing composite material product line, particularly supporting applications such as tooling, jigs, fixtures, and select production parts in the aerospace and defense sectors; Markforged's software platform integrates simulation and inspection capabilities with a focus on security, suitable for manufacturing workflows and remote printing; and its development capabilities for high-performance polymer and metal filaments will expand the customer base. Financially, the company anticipates gross margin improvement, significant synergies, and positive EBITDA contribution within one year post-closing. Furthermore, combining the dealer networks of both entities will create cross-selling opportunities.
