Wendt (India) Limited said that Lithoz GmbH, a provider of ceramic 3D printers and materials, has entered into a sales partnership with it to extend operations to the 3D printing market in the subcontinent.

According to the Indian machine industry company, the partnership will enable the two firms to further grow and develop their business in India.

Wendt (India) Ltd, which is claimed to have nearly 30 years of market know-how, will closely work with Lithoz to establish ceramic 3D printing technology within their portfolio of machinery and precision components.

Dr Johannes Homa — Lithoz CEO said: “To successfully enter an important market like India, we are fully aware of the importance of choosing the best sales partner. We are very happy and excited to be working with the Wendt / Murugappa group in India and look forward to implementing their vast experience and business network in the field of machinery and precision components into our own work.

“As two market leaders joining forces, we are fully convinced that by uniting our expertise we will make fast progress in establishing ceramic 3D printing as an alternative production technology, strongly adding value in both fields.”

Established in 1983, Wendt (India) has operated as a joint venture between Germany-based Wendt GmbH and Carborundum Universal Ltd (CUMI), which is a part of the Murugappa Group.

With its latest expansion to India, Lithoz is said to have laid the foundation for developing the 3D printing market, extending its services to the country in addition to operating in Europe, Asia, and America.
