More about Who we Are

People and Culture

Without the dedication and ingenuity of EOS team members across 15 countries, none of our success would be possible. We prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion, and we strive to create a value-oriented, positive and highly effective working environment through a strong focus on employee well-being.

History

The evolution of EOS since its 1989 founding in some ways mirrors the progression of additive manufacturing itself, as the company transitioned from stereolithography to laser sintering and helped AM become viable for series production.
