Moreover, Sintavia is well-aligned with our company’s sustainability goals. Through its technology, Sintavia is capable of reducing waste in the additive manufacturing production process, allowing end-stage products to fly lighter, ultimately reducing greenhouse gases and helping to create a more sustainable society.”
The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2020 following customary regulatory review. RBC Capital Markets acted as exclusive advisor to Sintavia on the transaction.
