EOS Names New EOS of North America President

EOS of North America, Novi, Mich., a manufacturer of additive manufacturing technology, has appointed Glynn Fletcher president.

“Throughout his career, Glynn Fletcher’s deep understanding of innovative production processes has proved invaluable to the manufacturers of high-value parts,” said Dr. Hans Langer, founder and CEO of EOS. “Our customers will benefit from not only his long manufacturing experience, but also his international perspective formed in Europe and the Americas. This will strengthen our ability to help our customers find new ways to exploit the potential of our technology.”

Fletcher was previously the president of GF Machining Solutions (GFMS) Americas, Lincolnshire, Ill. (formerly known as GF AgieCharmilles).

“As someone who has been around machining systems for many years, I recognize the tremendous potential of additive manufacturing as an industrial 3-D printing process,” said Fletcher. “Manufacturers throughout North America can use EOS systems to expand markets, shorten lead times, and optimize their supply chains. Most important, the technology not only helps them make existing products in a new, efficient process, it allows them to completely reimagine designs in ways that weren’t possible before.”

Fletcher will also be managing two companies within the EOS family: Advanced Laser Materials (ALM), a provider of high-performance polymers, including customized blends, for the AM industry, and Integra Services, which offers service and support for rapid prototyping and AM technology.
