EOS Acquires Metalpine, Expands Titanium Powder Strategy for AM

EOS has taken full control of Metalpine, turning a 2021 materials partnership into a deeper bet on titanium powder supply for industrial metal additive manufacturing. The company said the acquisition strengthens its strategic focus on materials, especially titanium, where powder quality, qualification, and repeatability still set the pace for production.

EOS announced on April 15, 2026 that it acquired 100 percent of Metalpine and will keep the company operating as an independent business inside the EOS group. Metalpine will retain its brand, organizational structure, and day-to-day operations while continuing to serve customers around the world. That structure matters in metal AM, where switching suppliers can ripple through qualification programs and production schedules.

The move builds on EOS’s earlier investment in Metalpine on November 15, 2021, when the two companies said they would work more closely on innovative and sustainable metal powders. EOS said Metalpine’s atomisation technology was attractive because it could support more efficient powder production with lower use of raw materials, electricity, and gas. Metalpine had also just opened a production center in Graz, Austria, designed for operating efficiency and environmental protection.

Metalpine, based in Graz and part of the htm Group, brings a proprietary atomization process that the company says produces highly spherical, pore-free powders. Its materials are certified to ISO 9001 and EN 9100, a key signal for aerospace and medical buyers that care as much about traceability and repeatability as they do about chemistry. EOS said the acquisition should improve process stability, scalability, and industrial readiness for customers pushing toward serial production.

The target markets make the strategy even clearer. EOS and Metalpine said the collaboration is aimed at aerospace, medical, and high-performance industrial applications, not consumer printing. Those are the sectors where titanium powders carry the most weight, and where a tighter link between machine parameters, powder behavior, and process support can shorten qualification timelines.

Metalpine’s CEO, Gerald Pöllmann, said joining EOS marked a natural progression for the company, giving it room to scale its technology while continuing to serve customers worldwide. Dr. Martin Dopler, the company’s CTO and head of R&D, framed the deal around material consistency and further innovation. Taken together, the acquisition shows EOS moving beyond machines and deeper into the powder pipeline that underpins industrial metal AM.
