Alphaform AG Alphaform announces extensive realignment

- Restructuring, process improvement and competence extension as pre-requirement for further growth

- Operational results forecast for 2013 is concretized at EUR-2.5 million

- CEO gets support from interim manager

Feldkirchen, 03rd February 2014 - The industrial 3D printing service provider Alphaform AG plans an extensive realignment. This is necessary due to the rapid technological development that threatened to overtake the company during the past business year. In the future, the company will focus on the 3D printing main business and on the creation of additional customer benefits. The realignment is accompanied by a restructuring in the organisation. It comprises the optimization of the operational processes for recovering the profitability, the expansion of the sales activities to increase revenues, as well as the enhancement of the own engineering competences in order to use the growth chances in 3D printing.

The operational business will focus on a faster order addressing and a better machine utilization with lower unit costs. Sales activity through Key Account Management is further enhanced and additionally sales channels e.g. online shopping and regional sales will be implemented. The first steps were already introduced during the 4th quarter in 2013. In the future, we will offer a more intensive engineering support - principally in 3D print-design - to the increasing number of customers, who are interested in using 3D printing in their production.
