Closing of acquisition: SBO strengthens Precision Technology division with
3T Additive Manufacturing Ltd.
SBO AG, listed in the leading index ATX of the Vienna Stock Exchange, has
successfully completed the acquisition of 3T Additive Manufacturing Ltd.,
which was agreed in August 2025. The company is a leading British provider
of industrial 3D metal printing solutions. The closing of the transaction
strategically strengthens SBO’s Precision Technology division and provides
access to an internationally recognized center of excellence in additive
manufacturing. 3T Additive Manufacturing operates a state-of-the-art,
fully integrated production facility in Newbury, UK, and serves a global
customer base in high-tech industries such as aerospace, space, defense,
semiconductors, and oil and gas. The company generated sales of around GBP
5 million in 2024.
“With the successful completion of the acquisition of 3T Additive
Manufacturing, we are setting another milestone in our strategic
diversification. We are expanding our Precision Technology division by
adding a highly specialized and well-positioned company in the field of 3D
metal printing, which opens up new markets for us and strengthens our
competitive position sustainably. At the same time, we are underlining our
strong commitment to technology leadership, sustainability, and resilient
supply chains,” says Klaus Mader, CEO of SBO, commenting on the
acquisition.
Strategic expansion of technology leadership and customer base
With this acquisition, SBO is strengthening its position in an attractive
growth market. 3T is one of the few vertically integrated companies in 3D
metal printing worldwide, covering the entire value chain from design and
prototyping to series production and post-processing. Long-term contracts
with international customers in key industries ensure the stability of the
business model. Additionally, 3T’s highly qualified team of experts
ideally complements the existing expertise of SBO’s Precision Technology
division and accelerates the implementation of the additive manufacturing
growth strategy.
Advancing sustainability and supply chain resilience
Special attention is given to sustainability: Since 2023, 3T has been
manufacturing exclusively with electricity from renewable energies. The
company is following a clear roadmap to achieve emission-free production
by 2032 and plans to provide a digital net-zero certificate for every part
delivered. In addition, the production site in the UK further strengthens
the resilience of SBO’s supply chains. Proximity to end customers and
fully digitalized and automated processes shorten transport routes and
significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.
