Spectroplast Relocates Headquarters to Munich as New CEO Takes the Helm

A leadership transition and a change of address

Spectroplast, a silicone 3D printing service provider, has moved its headquarters from Zurich to Munich.

For engineers and manufacturing professionals watching the additive manufacturing services space, the timing is notable. A headquarters move and a new chief executive arriving together signals a deliberate repositioning rather than routine corporate housekeeping.

What the company actually does

Spectroplast's offering spans the full arc of getting a silicone part from concept to production. The company supports customers with materials development, application development, and prototyping and production. That breadth matters: silicone remains one of the more demanding materials to process additively, and a service provider that works across both the material and the application side can address failure modes that a print-only bureau cannot.

The reasoning behind the move

Eils discussed the company's direction in an episode of the Additive Insight podcast, where he was joined by the TCT Group Content Manager. The conversation covered what prompted the move to Munich, as well as the areas where silicone 3D printing is creating application opportunities.

That second point deserves attention from process and design engineers alike. The discussion also addressed the materials properties the company is looking to deliver for its customer base — a signal that Spectroplast sees material performance, not just print capability, as the lever for unlocking new applications.

What comes next

Eils used the conversation to outline where he intends to take the business. How that strategy translates into new programs and material offerings will be the thing to watch.
