Specialty zinc materials provider EverZinc, headquartered in Liège, Belgium, has launched a new “digital transformation arm” that seeks to integrate 3D printing and other cutting edge technologies into its supply chain. Titled “EverZinc Digital” this branch of the company has been launched in collaboration with XponentialWorks, the venture investment, corporate advisory, and product development company of Avi Reichental, board member and former president and CEO of 3D Systems.
Vincent Dujardin, CEO of EverZinc, comments, “Our Industry will see more change in the next decade than it has seen in the last century,”
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR US TO ACT AND GO BEYOND OUR CURRENT PORTFOLIO OF PRODUCTS AND APPLICATIONS TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN ALWAYS DELIVER THE BEST PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND FUTURE-PROOF OUR BUSINESS.”
The digitization of EverZinc
EverZinc Digital parent company EverZinc is funded by global investment firm OpenGate Capital. Its three key product areas cover Fine Zinc Powder, Zinc Oxide and Zinc Battery Materials, focusing on application in rechargeable energy storage, long life coatings and additives for skincare, rubber, and farming products.
The introduction of EverZinc Digital is to generate new ideas for the company, and build an ecosystem of startups to increase the applications of zinc materials. In 3D printing, zinc can be used an additive to alloy mixtures, an ingredient for conductive nanoparticle inks, or as a coating for the final finished parts to prevent rust and corrosion.
