On February 21, 2019, TPM Machinery (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Shanghai UnionTech Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement, establishing a formal partnership to jointly develop the prototype market in China.
Under the agreement, UnionTech will serve as TPM3D’s agent for nylon laser-sintered equipment in South and East China, leveraging its extensive sales channels and customer base to accelerate market expansion. TPM3D, in turn, will provide UnionTech with advanced technology, service support, and competitive products to enhance its presence in the Chinese market.
The collaboration also introduces UnionTech’s EPM smart system into TPM3D’s operations. The system will help standardize production, reduce management costs, and improve scale efficiency, promoting smart manufacturing for small and medium-sized factories as well as distributed production for multinational and cross-regional enterprises.
