On October 8, 2019, Marie Langer, daughter of founder Dr. Hans J. Langer, became the new Chief Executive Officer of EOS GmbH. She replaced Dr. Adrian Keppler, who took on the role of Managing Director (he left EOS a year and a half later in March 2021).
Langer took over the company at an extremely critical time, just before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic crisis, as well as the onset of the war in Ukraine in early 2022. Despite these challenges, EOS remains one of the leaders in the global AM market, continually driving innovation – especially in the area of software.
Langer has been formally associated with EOS since August 2016, serving in various functions within the company and on the supervisory board. Under her leadership, EOS has increasingly focused on promoting sustainable technologies and developing 3D printing solutions that have a positive environmental impact. The company has also made significant progress in software development and enhancing the technological capabilities of its existing machine portfolio.
Under Langer's leadership, EOS has concentrated on digitizing production processes and implementing Industry 4.0 solutions. The company invests in the development of software and platforms that enable better integration of 3D printing with existing production processes, allowing customers to achieve greater flexibility and cost optimization.
However, in retrospect, the greatest achievement seems to be guiding EOS through extremely challenging global economic conditions. The COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Eastern Europe were challenges that many companies – not only in the AM sector – were unable to handle. Meanwhile, EOS not only maintained its dominant position in the industry but also strengthened it.
EOS GmbH was founded in 1989 by Dr. Hans J. Langer and is one of the global leaders in 3D printing technology and additive manufacturing solutions. Although in its early years the company developed proprietary SLA photopolymer systems, since the mid-1990s, it has been a leader in industrial systems for producing parts from powdered plastics (SLS) and metals (DMLS).
