Dutch technology company 3devo has announced its expansion to the United States. The Utrecht-based company, which specializes in high-quality desktop filament extrusion and plastic recycling solutions, will be catering to its North American clientele from a new address in Claymont, Delaware.
3devo’s decision to open an office in the U.S. stems from the growing popularity of its products around the world. The company first came into the spotlight in 2016 with a revolutionary desktop filament extruder. Thereafter, it went on to develop a highly specialized and precision-oriented range of filament makers, an innovative plastic processor, and most recently, a desktop-based polymer dryer.
These cutting-edge products, along with 3devo’s commitment to reducing lead times and improving access to groundbreaking material developing technologies, have earned the company an extensive international customer base that continues to grow.
“The decision to expand 3devo into the US and open our first foreign office in Delaware was the next logical step for our business growth strategy,” says Tim Wesselink, CEO of 3devo. According to Wesselink, a U.S. presence will help his company improve the purchasing process for its overseas clients. In addition to shortening lead times and speeding up deliveries within the U.S. and North America, it will also facilitate payments by eliminating currency conversion and other logistical obstacles.
With 3devo looking to make material development technologies accessible to end users across the globe, Wesselink feels that quality customer service and quick response times will be key to his company’s success. Acquiring a U.S. presence is an important step in this direction. Wesselink feels it will help the company forge better customer relationships and pave the way for further growth.
“We see immense growth in the near future and are looking into other ways to better service our customers throughout the world,” he says.
What is one of the biggest reasons for expanding into the U.S.?
“From the very start it was clear to us that the Additive Manufacturing marketing is an international market by default. The demand from the north American market has always been strong, and North America has played an important role in establishing and developing AM in general. But despite the international character of the AM market, borders very are noticeable in conducting business, making products available easier and quicker, having less importation hassle and being able to provide quicker service. Because of this it was the logical next step for us to set up our first foreign office in the USA to improve our ability to answer the North American product demand and create a better overall experience for our customers.” – Tim Wesselink, CEO of 3devo
What does 3devo expect from this?
“We expect to be able to better service our clients, and make it considerably easier to purchase products in the US. We plan on improving the delivery speed of first spare parts and later complete products.” – Jasper Leussink, Head of Production at 3devo
What will 3devo’s customers expect from this?
“3devo is a company that aims for customer success, so getting products successfully available and properly implemented is very important to us. With 3devo Inc. move a step forward in this direction.” – Anton Komarov, Senior Account Manager at 3devo
