CEO’s statement in brief

Freemelt continues to develop according to plan although the commercial activity during the quarter was lower than expected. We haven’t lost any deals, but several expected orders have taken longer than anticipated.

We have made good progress within our materials development project ordered by UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). In the first quarter, Freemelt received an order to develop a materials process for printing tungsten components for use in future fusion energy power plants. Freemelt was chosen due to its unique competence within the area. Results to date are promising. Final delivery is expected during the third quarter this year.

It is worth noting that there is plenty of M&A activity in our industry. We see this as a positive sign as it indicates that 3D-printing as a manufacturing technique is about to compete with traditional mass production such as casting and forging.

Freemelt has many important competitive advantages which we are convinced will secure our commercial success. Alongside cost efficiency, flexibility and the open platform, customers value our ability to handle materials such as copper, titanium and tungsten. Therefore, we see great interest in our industrial machine eMELT even before the first machine has been installed.

During the quarter, we have continued building our organisation. Focus is to capture the commercial opportunities we see in the market. As part of our industrial push we’ve hired a Product Manager for our Industrial printers who has valuable experience from industrial processes and additive manufacturing. In addition, we strengthened the team by hiring a Chief Marketing Officer, a Key Account Manager EMEA and a Head of Sales North America.
