Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing joins ADDMAN Group

ADDMAN announces the addition of Keselowski Advanced Manufacturing (KAM) to its portfolio of businesses, together forming the largest and fastest-growing additive manufacturing (AM) provider in the United States. This move represents ADDMAN’s most significant expansion in metal additive manufacturing and technological readiness to date. The combined entity now operates over 50 metal additive production machines, establishing its leadership in North America’s metal additive industry.

Customers will now have unprecedented access to a fully integrated metal additive manufacturing process, from design to serial production. The expanded ADDMAN Group offers over 300,000 square feet of additive manufacturing capacity, enhanced by KAM’s 70,000-square-foot facility in Statesville, North Carolina. The combined expertise of ADDMAN and KAM ensures superior quality and faster delivery times for customers, making them a leading force for advanced manufacturing needs.

Brad Keselowski, Founder of KAM, has been a strong advocate for this partnership, affirming, “ADDMAN’s integration marks a pivotal moment for the additive industry. Combining these companies brings a powerful combination with KAM’s world-class processes and systems, and ADDMAN’s abundant resources and R&D. Together, we set a new standard for innovation and excellence in the additive manufacturing industry.”

Keselowski will remain deeply committed and invested in the operation’s success, assuming a role as a Commercial Advisor on ADDMAN’s Board of Directors, ensuring a seamless transition and continued expansion.

KAM joins Castheon, ADDMAN’s metal additive research and production facility in Thousand Oaks, California. By combining the strengths of both locations, the teams will work together to provide enhanced solutions with industry-leading capability and lead times in refractory alloy production and material science. This collaboration ensures coast-to-coast support from engineering design to full-scale production, leveraging the expertise and capabilities of both facilities to deliver superior AM solutions.

“We hold immense respect for the legacies of the companies we integrate into our fold. Brad and the exceptional team at KAM have built an impressive, profitable, and sustainable 3D printing enterprise in a remarkably short time,” says Joe Calmese, CEO, ADDMAN. “This is yet another proof point that ADDMAN is dedicated to assembling the industry’s finest under our banner. I look forward to seeing the new era of our combined company unfold.”

KAM and ADDMAN both heavily serve the defense and commercial space markets, and uniting is a force multiplier in how the organization will support this sector. This strengthens their combined Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) and Technology Readiness Level (TRL), enabling them to deliver advanced, market-ready solutions. Backed by American Industrial Partners (AIP), the combined entities are committed to driving transformative change through 3D printing, solidifying their leadership in providing innovative technologies to the defense industry.
