ADDMAN announces the acquisition of Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing (KAM). This move represents ADDMAN’s most significant expansion to date in the metal additive manufacturing space.
With the addition of KAM to ADDMAN’s portfolio, customers will benefit from a fully integrated process from the design phase through to volume production. KAM’s 70,000 square foot facility in Statesville, North Carolina, complements ADDMAN’s existing capabilities and enables increased production output while maintaining high quality. The merger combines the expertise of both companies, resulting in faster delivery times and improved solutions for demanding manufacturing requirements.
Brad Keselowski, Founder of KAM, has been a strong advocate for this partnership, affirming, “ADDMAN’s integration marks a pivotal moment for the additive industry. Combining these companies brings a powerful combination with KAM’s world-class processes and systems, and ADDMAN’s abundant resources and R&D. Together, we set a new standard for innovation and excellence in the additive manufacturing industry.”
This expansion strengthens ADDMAN’s presence in strategically important markets such as the defense and aerospace industries. The integration of the two companies will not only increase the Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) and Technology Readiness Level (TRL), but also improve the ability to deliver market-ready solutions. Supported by American Industrial Partners (AIP), the combined company will continue to drive transformative change through 3D printing and solidify its leadership position in delivering innovative technologies to the defense sector.
Joe Calmese, CEO, ADDMAN states “We hold immense respect for the legacies of the companies we integrate into our fold. Brad and the exceptional team at KAM have built an impressive, profitable, and sustainable 3D printing enterprise in a remarkably short time. This is yet another proof point that ADDMAN is dedicated to assembling the industry’s finest under our banner. I look forward to seeing the new era of our combined company unfold.”
