Interfacial Consultants acquires 3D Printing Division of M. Holland Company

Interfacial Consultants, a materials science products and services company, has acquired the 3D printing division of M. Holland Company.

Interfacial, a NAGASE Group company, provides advanced materials and manufacturing process solutions. This acquisition combines M. Holland’s expertise in the industrial sector with Interfacial’s advanced additive manufacturing technology.

M. Holland’s 3D printing group specializes in integrated additive manufacturing technologies for injection molding applications and beyond. Its experts offer prototyping services, part and mold production, contract manufacturing, and training and consulting.

“M. Holland has assembled a strong team and a successful consultative business development model to drive 3D printing adoption,” said Jeff Cernohous, chief operating officer at Interfacial. “Interfacial launched its EMPOWR3D™ division in 2022, with the aim to help industrial end users adopt 3D printing into their businesses at scale. This acquisition accelerates our efforts and provides additional reach with M. Holland’s extensive customer base.”

Under the agreement, Interfacial, which was acquired by NAGASE in 2020, will acquire the assets of M. Holland’s 3D printing group. Upon completion of the transaction on Sept. 29, 2023, Interfacial will serve M. Holland’s 3D printing customers and provide industrial markets with additive manufacturing solutions from concept to commercialization.

“We’re excited to build upon M. Holland’s expertise developing 3D printing applications across various markets with Interfacial’s development services, specialty materials and engineered substrates,” said Carlos Aponte, who has served as M. Holland’s market manager of 3D Printing for the last year. “We expect a seamless transition for our customers and partners, who will benefit from a more robust and highly focused approach.”

“With this acquisition, M. Holland can connect our customers with Interfacial for all 3D printing needs,” said Peter Prusak, director of Business Development at M. Holland. “Our broad customer base will benefit from access to additive manufacturing solutions, with the added technology and resources from our partner Interfacial.”

Interfacial focuses on the development and commercialization of technology platforms in advanced materials and manufacturing processes for diverse industries, including plastics, construction, electronics and automotive.
