Sodick to acquire a 9.5% stake in Prima Additive from Alpha Private Equity and Peninsula Capital for €22m.

Sodick, a Japanese manufacturing equipment supplier, agreed to acquire a 9.5% stake in Prima Additive, a manufacturer of industrial metal additive manufacturing systems, from private equity firms Alpha Private Equity and Peninsula Capital, for €22m. “We warmly welcome Sodick into our corporate structure: an investment by another important industrial partner that gives confidence in the company's growth path. This is a project in which possible and future synergies will be explored, at the center of which there will be the valorization of the complementarity of the products, but also of cultural differences. It is a project that brings together two companies that approach the world of metal additive manufacturing starting from the search for profitable and scalable applications thanks to an innovative mindset and a strong industrial tradition," Paolo Calefati, Prima Additive CEO.
