Materialise Transferring RapidFit business to its management team (MBO)

Materialise announced that it will transfer its RapidFit activities to the current management team, after which RapidFit will continue as an independent company under the same name and leadership. The activities were part of Materialise's Manufacturing division, and the transaction marks another step in the group's strategy to sharpen its focus on profitable activities.

As a standalone company, RapidFit will benefit from greater focus and flexibility, enabling faster decision-making, closer proximity to customers, and a more targeted approach to partnerships and investments to support further growth. RapidFit specializes in custom 3D-printed jigs, fixtures, and quality control solutions for the automotive and manufacturing industries. The impact of the transaction on Materialise's consolidated figures is not material. The transaction is not expected to affect customers or ongoing projects and is expected to close around end April 2026, with financial terms undisclosed.
