Pro Materia, a venture of GMH Gruppe, has successfully commenced industrial production of additively manufactured metal components. The start of operations marks the next milestone in GMH Gruppe´s expansion of its digital manufacturing and establishes the foundation for the cost-effective serial production of spare parts and a wide range of industrial applications.

Following approximately twelve months of planning and implementation, the first production batches of ready-to-install spare parts will be manufactured in the coming weeks and deployed across GMH Gruppe companies. The components have already been successfully qualified and demonstrate significant potential to reduce maintenance costs, improve supply chain resilience, and optimize manufacturing processes.

The serial production of spare parts within GMH Gruppe marks the beginning of point for Pro Materia’s next phase of development. Building on the experience, the company will provide additive manufacturing solutions to customers across a broad range of industries. Its aim is to help companies improve spare parts availability, strengthen supply chain resilience, and realize economically viable manufacturing solutions for complex metal components.

“With the launch of our production facility, we have successfully taken the step from technology development to industrial application”, says Philip Stöhr, Commercial Director of Pro Materia. “Additive manufacturing opens up entirely new opportunities for companies to produce components faster, more flexibly, and more economically. Our ambition is to transform these technological advantages into market-ready solutions together with our customers. The successful completion of our first spare parts projects confirms that we have established the right technological foundation to achieve this.”

Earlier this year, GMH Gruppe launched Pro Materia to combine its metallurgical expertise with advanced additive manufacturing technologies. Today, Pro Materia combines two complementary production technologies. Its innovative Moldjet technology is particularly suited to the cost-efficient serial production of complex metal components, while its advanced sintering technology supports both serial production and development and qualification projects.

The company also benefits from GMH Gruppe’s extensive materials expertise. This combination enables Pro Materia to support customers with cost-effective solutions for spare parts, small production runs and highly complex metal components for industrial applications.

The production infrastructure has been designed with scalability in mind, enabling additional equipment to be integrated quickly and production capacity to be expanded in line with future demand.

The start of production marks the beginning of the company’s next phase of growth. Together with customers and partners, Pro Materia aims to develop further industrial applications and accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing across industry. The company’s focus lies on delivering economically viable solutions for spare parts, small production runs, and highly complex components where conventional manufacturing methods reach their limits.

“This milestone demonstrates how GMH Gruppe is combining advanced materials expertise with digital manufacturing technologies to support the future of industrial production,” says Dr. Alexander Becker, CEO of GMH Gruppe. “With Pro Materia, we are expanding our capabilities in additive manufacturing and creating new opportunities to support our customers with innovative and economically viable manufacturing solutions.”
