Royal DSM, a science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials, announces today it will increase the capacity at its Hoek van Holland (Netherlands) site for the production of Somos® UV-curable additive manufacturing materials. This investment meets increased customer demand and reflects the growth of the 3D printing industry.
Somos® has grown with the 3D printing industry for over 20 years. As this industry continues to grow, so does the need for innovative materials. Somos® is focused on developing materials that support existing and new photopolymer-based equipment for industrial applications while moving the industry from prototyping to end use parts.
"Expansion of the current production footprint will include new state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing equipment," says Bastiaan van Wieringen, Site Manager Hoek van Holland. "We have over 30 years of experience at this site producing high-quality, UV-curable products and look forward to supporting the Somos® business and their growth objectives."
"We are thrilled with the growth experienced by our customers and the industry," says Melissa Lutz, Business Director Somos®. "This investment allows us to have more capacity available to grow with them and continue to enable new opportunities in the world of 3D Printing."
