XJet enters Japanese market through ZEN Global sales partnership
Additive manufacturing company tapped a Japan-based partner to sell its Carmel system and pursue project work in the country
XJet 3D has named ZEN Global Co., Ltd., a Japan-based additive manufacturing technology company, as its sales partner and representative in Japan. Under the arrangement, ZEN Global will handle sales of XJet’s Carmel printing system in Japan and pursue parts-manufacturing project opportunities in the country.
XJet develops NanoParticle Jetting, a 3D printing process that does not use metal powder and produces fully dense metal and technical ceramic parts with fine features and complex shapes.
Gilad Gans, Chief Business Officer of XJet, said: “Japan is home to some of the world’s most demanding manufacturers, and getting this partnership right matters to us.”
Kayne Ikeda, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ZEN Global, said: “XJet’s NPJ technology addresses a gap I’ve seen in the Japanese market for some time.”
ZEN Global provides additive manufacturing systems, materials, software and services to manufacturers and research organizations in Japan. Through the new partnership, the company adds XJet’s Carmel system and NPJ process to that offering.
