Headquartered in Seattle, Quickparts operates five global design and production centers. Its two US facilities are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ITAR registered.

“We are very pleased to welcome the Xcentric team to the Quickparts family,” said Ziad Abou, Quickparts CEO, in a prepared statement. “As a combined company, we will offer an in-house, end-to-end solution from first prototype to short-run production. This acquisition is an important step as we continuously strive to advance Quickparts’ capabilities. With Xcentric, we will be able to offer a complete lifecycle solution that will be executed with even greater speed and certainty.”

Xcentric CEO Matt McIntosh welcomed the acquisition, saying it will bring speed and scale to Xcentric’s digital manufacturing capabilities and injection molding expertise. “Trusted by industry leaders, Xcentric prides itself on a terrific culture of excellence and customer service, and we believe the Quickparts team is the right partner to support the continued growth of Xcentric’s capabilities.”
