Julien Marcilly, who has been Deputy CEO at AddUp since 2019, took over the role of Chief Executive Officer at the end of 2023. He succeeds Frank Moreau in this role. Marcilly brings extensive experience in the industrial manufacturing sector, having held leadership positions at Fives Group for almost 15 years before joining AddUp.
As CEO of Fives Conveying, Marcilly was committed to increasing machine productivity at the world’s leading automotive manufacturers through intelligent automation solutions. Prior to Fives Conveying, as Operations Director of Fives Stein, he managed large projects and optimized production lines for steel and glass manufacturers in Europe, Asia, North and South America. Marcilly’s experience in overcoming international manufacturing challenges such as supply chain disruptions, technology adoption, automation and sustainability is expected to benefit AddUp as the company continues to grow and expand into new markets and countries.
With a background in traditional manufacturing methods, Marcilly is an advocate of metal-based 3D printing and believes this technology will be disruptive for many large industrial companies. He is determined to show that AddUp has the expertise to fully and sustainably support these industrial companies on their 3D printing journey.
“AddUp is a bona fide additive manufacturing OEM built upon the pedigree of our parent companies, industry pioneers, Michelin and Fives,” says Marcilly. “We understand the world of manufacturing because we were born from it. We understand industrial challenges because we have lived them. This is why we are industrializing additive manufacturing. We know how to use it, qualify it, and scale it, making it a reliable and repeatable solution for our customers.”
Marcilly emphasizes that anticipating the future of 3D printing will be a key concern, with a focus on productivity and repeatability, sustainability, software monitoring and data management, while providing outstanding customer support.
“AddUp not only has best-in-class PBF and DED machines, but also a best-in-class service team to fully support our customers throughout their additive manufacturing journey from design to production and qualification,” explains Marcilly. “I am excited to see the future of additive manufacturing and proud to be at the forefront with AddUp, industrializing the technology to solve manufacturers toughest challenges. I look forward to leading such an innovative company and to driving the growth of our industry.”
Marcilly’s appointment as CEO of AddUp marks an important step in the company’s evolution. His extensive experience and commitment to the field of metal-based 3D printing promises to strengthen AddUp’s position as a leader in additive manufacturing and advance the industry as a whole. With a focus on sustainability, advanced technology and customer satisfaction, AddUp is facing exciting times under the leadership of Julien Marcilly.
