CMT Materials has announced it will open a new site in Europe this year, and hopes to be taking orders from September 1.

The site, which will be located in The Netherlands, will include full inventory, sales and customer service personnel and cut-to-size services.

General Manager Terence Woldorf said: “By setting up a physical presence that is centrally located in Europe, we will be better able to serve our European customer base.”

“We recognize that our customers need quick turnaround times for many new thermoforming projects. This new location will allow users to get our HYTAC products within 2-3 days,” he added.

The new facility aims to provide same-day shipping within Europe, reducing lead times and shipping costs.

CMT Materials will also be exhibiting at K in October.
