This acquisition accelerates our efforts and provides additional reach with M. Holland’s extensive customer base."

As per the agreement, Interfacial, which became a part of the NAGASE Group in 2020, will take over the assets of M. Holland's 3D Printing group. Following the transaction's closure on September 29, 2023, Interfacial will serve M.
