On March 19, 2025, Sodick Co., Ltd. exercised its call option to acquire a majority stake in Prima Additive S.r.l..
This move marks a key milestone in the partnership initiated in 2024, when Sodick acquired a 9.5% minority share in Prima Additive. The transaction is expected to close during the next months.
Sodick, based in Japan, is a global leader in high-precision machine tools, metal 3D printing, and hybrid manufacturing solutions. With strong technological and industrial synergies between the two companies, the acquisition opens new growth opportunities in the field of laser technologies for metal additive manufacturing.
Prima Additive will maintain its headquarters in Italy, and the current management team, including CEO Paolo Calefati, will remain in charge. The goal is strengthening joint R&D in metal additive manufacturing and expanding Prima Additive’s global presence.
