B.I.G. Holding becomes sole owner of GEFERTEC

B.I.G. Holding announced that, effective immediately, it is the sole owner of GEFERTEC. In a joint decision with founding partners Tobias Röhrich and Georg Fischer, the Group has acquired their shares. B.I.G. Holding had already purchased the shares of EMAG (10 percent) in June of last year.

“This gives GEFERTEC the necessary freedom of action to further expand and solidify its position in the growing market for 3D metal printing,” says Igor Haschke, managing director of GEFERTEC and owner of the Berlin.Industrial.Group. (B.I.G.). Demand for these machines is rising, particularly in the USA.

GEFERTEC offers complete manufacturing systems for metal 3D printing in the Wire-Arc-Additive-Manufacturing (WAAM) process. Therefore, the traditional gas metal arc welding is combined with special process expertise for the additive manufacturing of components, a robust machine system, integrative CAM software and process-related quality assurance. The robust process, high build rates and ease of handling wire as a feedstock make the process interesting for manufacturing medium to large components.
