Stratasys to acquire MarkForged, Inc., expanding aerospace, defense, and industrial production capabilities. Strengthens Stratasys' position in high-demand manufacturing applications requiring production-grade performance at scale Enhances go-to-market network coverage, generating additional cross-sale opportunities Expected to be accretive and realize meaningful cost synergies, along with positive adjusted EBITDA contribution, within first year following close Stratasys to update guidance following closing of transaction MINNETONKA, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel-(BUSINESS WIRE)- Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in additive manufacturing solutions, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MarkForged, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nano Dimension, in an all-cash transaction valued at $42.5 million, subject to customary adjustments. In 2025, Markforged generated approximately $70 million in revenue, including their Metal Binder Jetting product line, which Nano Dimension will retain. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. MarkForged, Inc. is a leading provider of end-to-end Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) solutions. Their integrated platform, The Digital Forge, seamlessly combines hardware, in-house materials, and secure software including simulation, part management, and automated print optimization. By leveraging Continuous Carbon Fiber technology, MarkForged, Inc. enables industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and food and beverage to produce parts that are both lighter and stronger than traditional FFF alternatives. The transaction increases Stratasys' distribution channel and expands its existing capabilities in these industries, further strengthening the company's go-to-market strategy. With the addition of MarkForged, Inc.'s products and technology, Stratasys will be more effectively positioned to meet growing demand for lightweight, high strength, and production ready components that address modern requirements for supply chain resilience and manufacturing agility. "This acquisition further advances our capabilities to meet customers' growing needs in critical areas such as defense and aerospace at a time when additive manufacturing continues to displace traditional manufacturing for high requirement applications in production," said Dr. Yoav Zeif, Chief Executive Officer of Stratasys. "We believe that our teams can immediately reinvigorate revenue growth by adding MarkForged, Inc.'s products and software systems as we leverage our leading partner networks. We are confident this transaction will strengthen Stratasys' position in many of the largest and most structurally critical industries where performance, supply chain resilience, reliability, and scalability are essential." Strategic and Financial Benefits of the Transaction: Adding MarkForged, Inc.'s products to Stratasys' existing products and capabilities is expected to result in many compelling benefits, including: * Enhances Portfolio Through Innovative Continuous Carbon Fiber Technology: MarkForged, Inc.'s differentiated material technology, which is leveraged across its broad portfolio of FFF 3D printers, enables high-strength, lightweight parts that are both a meaningful addition to and differentiated from Stratasys' portfolio of advanced composite solutions. This continuous carbon fiber offering is expected to support aerospace and defense use cases in particular, for tooling, fixtures, ground support equipment, and select production parts, offering mechanical performance and speed that complement traditional manufacturing methods. Through this acquisition, MarkForged, Inc.'s composite capabilities will further enhance Stratasys' ability to support these mission-critical applications within regulated and performance-driven industrial settings. * Complementary Software Capabilities: The transaction is expected to enhance Stratasys' software offering. MarkForged, Inc.'s broad software platform is ideally poised for manufacturing workflow and remote printing, including high performance features such as simulation and inspection with security top of mind. MarkForged, Inc. also has deep expertise in customer-centric workflows and integrated ecosystems, which will further accelerate digital manufacturing initiatives. * Expands Materials Offering of High Performance Polymer and Metal Filaments: MarkForged, Inc. has a robust manufacturing process to develop a wide range of high performance polymer and metal filaments, which, when leveraged alongside Stratasys' existing products and capabilities, will allow the company to provide solutions to a more diverse customer base across key end uses including aerospace and defense, automotive, and food and beverage products. * Expected to Deliver Meaningful Accretion and Cost Synergies: In 2025, Markforged generated approximately $70 million in revenue. Within one year of closing, Stratasys expects accretion to gross margins and to realize meaningful cost synergies, along with positive EBITDA contribution. Stratasys intends to update guidance following the closing of the transaction. * Reshapes Go-To-Market Network Coverage and Geographic Presence: Bringing MarkForged, Inc.'s partner and reseller network together with Stratasys' is expected to strengthen Stratasys' partner network and generate cross-sale opportunities, bringing greater choice and service to customers.
