Titomic’s Managing Director and Founder, Mr. Jeff Lang, said: “Andreas’ extensive professional experience in the global defence and aerospace sectors facilitates strong opportunities for Titomic to become a dominant player in the USD$4 trillion metals manufacturing industry for a green-tech future.”
Further, Dr Schwer stated; “I am honoured to accept the role of Chairman at Titomic and look forward to leading the Company to capitalise on its considerable opportunities and further add shareholder value. I believe Titomic’s industrial scale metal additive manufacturing and sustainable, green technology has tremendous commercial potential to take metal manufacturing industries into the future.”
Dr Schwer has a Dipl.-Ing in Aerospace Engineering and a PhD in System Modelling and Numerical Optimisation, both from the University of Stuttgart, and a Master of Science in System-Engineering from TU Delfi (The Netherlands).
Dr Schwer says he’s delighted to be joining the Board of a company that’s starting to make its presence felt globally, as demonstrated by the sale of two Titomic Kinetic Fusion® systems to a global defence manufacturer, as well as reaching agreements with companies of the calibre of Boeing, Airbus, and Thales.
