Navigating Through an Evolving Additive Industry
The Covid-19 pandemic, supply chain upheavals and energy transition have created a perfect storm for many businesses including the additive industry. Oronite’s Vice President of Commercial shares his perspective on how these events have shaped the industry in the recent past and for the future.

As Oronite’s Singapore Manufacturing Plant achieves a milestone of 25 years in operation in the Asia-Pacific region, he also reflects on how the progress of the plant mirrors the company’s efforts to keep abreast of the current energy transition.
