DSH and Elnik Merge, Relocate to Single Site in North Carolina to Accelerate MIM and Post-Processing Service Equipment Integration

2026-06-09 · Impact score: 32

U.S. metal powder technology company DSH Technologies has relocated its operations to North Carolina to co-locate with sister company Elnik Systems' manufacturing headquarters, marking the first time the two firms operate synergistically under one roof. Both companies are led by the same president, Stefan Joens. Founded in 1969, Elnik is a leading manufacturer of debinding and sintering furnaces for the metal injection molding (MIM) industry; DSH, established in 1999, provides specialized technical consulting, R&D, and contract manufacturing services. Under the merger, Elnik's equipment can now be commissioned and validated in-house using DSH's expertise prior to shipment, forming a closed loop from process development to equipment delivery. Elnik has moved from New Jersey to a new 76,000-square-foot facility in Pineville, doubling production capacity, with equipment sold to over 20 countries globally.

DSH与Elnik合并迁至北卡单一基地，MIM与后处理服务设备联动提速

美国金属粉末技术公司DSH Technologies将其业务迁至北卡罗来纳州，与姊妹公司Elnik Systems的制造总部合署运营，两家企业首次在同一厂区内协同运转。两家公司由同一总裁Stefan Joens领导，Elnik成立于1969年，是金属注射成型（MIM）行业脱脂和烧结炉的领先制造商；DSH成立于1999年，提供专业技术咨询、研发和代工服务。合并后，Elnik设备在出厂前可直接利用DSH的专业知识进行调试和验证，形成从工艺开发到设备交付的闭环。Elnik已从新泽西州搬迁至派恩维尔占地76,000平方英尺的新工厂，产能翻倍，设备销往全球超20个国家。

Titomic Secures U.S. Defense Component Order from EOS Defense Systems, Delivered Within One Week

Titomic's U.S. subsidiary has received an order from EOS Defense Systems USA to supply critical components for its U.S. defense production program, with delivery completed within one week. The order value was not disclosed. The order involves the rapid re-manufacturing of critical components using cold spray additive manufacturing. Cold spray is a solid-state deposition process used to fabricate and repair metal parts without melting the material. Rapid re-manufacturing and short-lead-time delivery of defense spare parts are typical applications of cold spray technology. This order validates the practical value of cold spray in the defense supply chain. Value for powder buyers: ① Demand for metal powders used in cold spray (aluminum, copper, titanium and their alloys) is linked to the defense repair market—relevant grades and particle sizes should be monitored. ② Domestic cold spray equipment and powder suppliers may find opportunities in the military repair sector. ③ As the order value was not disclosed, ongoing monitoring is needed to determine whether sustained orders will follow, which would clarify the scale of powder demand.

TRUMPF Acquires Cutlite Penta to Expand Laser Tube Cutting Product Line

TRUMPF has announced the acquisition of Italian laser cutting equipment manufacturer Cutlite Penta to expand its laser tube cutting product line. The acquisition amount was not disclosed. Cutlite Penta specializes in customized large-format, high-power laser cutting and ultra-long tube cutting equipment, with 34 years of industry experience. The company will retain its independent brand, manufacturing, and sales operations after the acquisition. TRUMPF, a manufacturer of lasers and laser processing equipment, also supplies lasers for metal additive manufacturing systems. The acquisition will broaden TRUMPF's product coverage in the laser processing market. As a core supplier of lasers for metal AM equipment, the company's expanded scale is expected to enhance supply stability and cost control of laser sources. Value for powder buyers: (1) Laser costs account for a significant portion of metal AM equipment expenses, and changes in the upstream supply landscape indirectly affect equipment pricing, which in turn impacts printing service costs. (2) The direct impact on the powder side is limited, making this primarily a supply chain dynamic. (3) It is worth monitoring TRUMPF's future investment in its additive manufacturing business line, as laser technology iterations could drive improvements in equipment process capabilities.

America Makes Announces 2026 Ambassadors and Outstanding Collaboration Award

America Makes has announced its nine ambassadors for 2026 and awarded the 2026 Outstanding Collaboration Award to Brett Conner, Chief Manufacturing Officer of SME. The organization also elected a new executive committee during the same period. The nine ambassadors, drawn from government, industry, and academia, represent sectors including defense, aerospace, energy, and equipment research, and will contribute to the promotion of additive manufacturing technologies and industry collaboration. America Makes is the U.S. national innovation institute for additive manufacturing, headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio. America Makes' membership and ambassador network serve as a key channel for U.S. additive manufacturing policy, standards, and program funding. Its annual project selections reflect the direction of U.S. industry resource investment. Value for powder buyers: ① Monitor America Makes' annual projects and challenge themes (e.g., collaborations with the U.S. Department of Defense's OIB), as these directions often drive demand for specific materials and processes. ② Companies doing business in the U.S. can leverage the ambassador network to gain insight into technology promotion priorities. ③ Evolutions in the U.S. standards system may impact powder certification requirements for exported products, so ongoing tracking is essential.
