Gosport, United Kingdom / Schio, Italy

Kingsbury, one of the UK’s leading CNC machine tool suppliers, Additure, the additive manufacturing specialists, and ATLIX, the newly independent 3D metal printing brand, and formerly TRUMPF Additive Manufacturing, today announce a strategic alliance that will position Kingsbury as the exclusive dealer of ATLIX machines and services in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the GCC region.

Starting in January 2026, Kingsbury’s additive manufacturing arm, Additure, will take on full responsibility for the sales, installation, service, and aftermarket support of ATLIX’s industrial 3D metal printing systems in the designated territories.

This partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies: ATLIX strengthens its channel presence and market penetration in key geographies, while Kingsbury further enhances its additive manufacturing portfolio with a best-in-class machine tool brand and global backing.

“This strategic alliance aims to deliver exceptional service and innovative solutions to our valued customers in these regions. Together with Additure and Kingsbury, we are committed to fostering the growth of our customers through the adoption of our industrial-grade additive-manufacturing technology.”  

– Marino Ferrarese, Head of Sales & Marketing, ATLIX

“The history and experience of the organisation, together with a renewed energy and agility within the sector, are what first attracted us. 

The scope of ATLIX’s machine portfolio to serve every sector is something that, I believe, is unparalleled in the industry, and we look forward to growing the industrial adoption of AM together with our current and future clients.”

Ian Brooks, Technical Director, Additure
