Additive Industries (AI) continues its growth by adding another additive manufacturing (AM) veteran to its sales team. Dave Emmett has been named Director of Sales and Business Development for North America.
Emmett’s responsibilities at AI will include driving strategic customer relationships, building the North American sales team and developing new business initiatives that focus on growth in the key market verticals of aviation, space and defense, high tech, energy and industrial.
Formerly a technical sales leader at GE Additive, Emmett has spent the last 25 years in various business management roles at technology companies such as BAE Systems and Renishaw.
“I am really excited to be joining this dynamic company with so many innovative concepts that show vision and room for growth,” said Emmett. “The number of existing customers with repeat orders for more MetalFAB1 machines is a testament to the product, the process and the service delivered today. In this immature industry, process variability is one of our challenges. The automated processes that AI has placed in the hands of operators reduces that variability and offers preand post-build validation tools that are critical to quality.”
Mark Massey, CCO at AI, said, “We are proud to have Dave join the U.S. team. His extensive experience in our industry, combined with his unique commercial skills and application knowledge in metal AM, will contribute greatly to the success of our ambitions in becoming the number one company in our field.”
Ian Howe, CEO at AI, added, “Considering Dave’s invaluable experience in business development at companies across the world, but specifically in North America, he is masterfully positioned to drive the acceleration of our growth in this region. We have complete confidence in his ability to lead our dedicated U.S. team to new international success on the sales level.”
