Xometry expands footprint with launch of UK marketplace

Med-Tech Innovation covers the story of how Xometry, the global online marketplace connecting enterprise buyers with suppliers of manufacturing services, has expanded its footprint in Europe, with the launch of xometry.uk, a localised marketplace for UK customers.

With the expansion into the UK, Xometry Europe now offers localised marketplaces in nine languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish. 

Xometry’s localised marketplaces are powered by the company’s AI-driven Instant Quoting Engine and allow regional customers to get quotes and purchase parts directly in local currency. 

Dmitry Kafidov, the managing director of Xometry Europe, said: “Our continued expansion across Europe reflects our commitment to becoming the global marketplace for the large and growing industrial market. Our localised marketplaces help entrepreneurs, small and medium businesses as well as large enterprise organisations connect with manufacturers to create locally resilient supply chains so that they can bring goods to market faster and operate with greater efficiency. We are proud of our track record in Europe, where we now have nine localised marketplaces.” 

The Xometry marketplace for UK customers offers manufacturing capabilities to produce both prototypes and high-volume batches. The service, available today, offers 15 manufacturing technologies, such as CNC machining, 3D printing and injection moulding, as well as 120 materials and dozens of finishing options. Xometry UK also offers various types of certifications and quality-control reports for end parts.
