Phillips Corp., EOS North America Expand Distribution Partnership

Phillips Corp., a provider of subtractive and additive manufacturing (AM) technology products and services, is expanding its commercial territory to offer EOS AM technology in four new states — Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland and eastern Pennsylvania. This grows its total East Coast presence to 12 states.

The company says this expansion strengthens its portfolio of technology products and services that already includes CNC machining centers, industrial automation systems, AM technology and services.

In 2016, EOS, an OEM of qualified metal and polymer AM technology, successfully engaged Phillips federal to represent the company in federal governmental contracts with the Department of Energy, Department of Defense and National Laboratories through the General Services Administration. The organization went on to grow its AM understanding and consultative capabilities, and the channel partner relationship with EOS has grown to now include much of the eastern U.S.

“Phillips is our standout industry partner capable of running projects through its Additive Innovation Center inside the U.S. Army’s Rock Island Center of Excellence in Illinois,” says Andrew Snow, senior vice president at EOS North America. “Additionally, the company was the very first certified training partner of our Additive Minds applied engineering team, allowing them to support customers in identifying use cases for 3D printing, and jump-starting their production.”

The company says this expanded agreement is a testament to the growth of AM and strengthens the competitive positioning for both organizations. Together, Phillips and EOS are now providing expertise and education to inspire engineers to ‘think additively’ and more quickly move their ideas from the whiteboard to reality.

“Our organization now has the ability to offer EOS’ innovative additive manufacturing solutions to a broader range of commercial customers in the U.S.,” says John Harrison, director of additive manufacturing at Phillips. “As the additive manufacturing industry continues to experience explosive growth, EOS and Phillips will be at forefront, providing an end-to-end solution and legendary customer support ensuring the success of our clients.”
