From Vision to Manufacturing Powerhouse

ADDMAN was founded in late 2020 by Mark Saberton, who now serves as our Chief Technical Officer. Mark believed that additive manufacturing could address the hurdles faced by manufacturing organizations, provided it was utilized correctly and with the aid of a suitable partner. Pursuing this vision, Mark transformed ADDMAN from a team of one into an enterprise of over 500 staff members, located across six sites.

Backed by American Industrial Partners

Our organization was born out of American Industrial Partners as an Advanced Manufacturing Center of Excellence, and we continue to uphold that standard today by powering the pursuit of manufacturing excellence through our innovative solutions and strategic partnerships.

"ADDMAN will continue to combine all technologies, modern and traditional, to maximize customer outcomes."

Partner, American Industrial Partners & ADDMAN Board Member
