TAAG and AMPOWER have announced a strategic partnership to bolster the advanced manufacturing sector in ASEAN, particularly in Singapore and Malaysia. This collaboration combines TAAG’s industrialisation expertise with AMPOWER’s market intelligence to support manufacturers and investors in transitioning to high-value production using additive manufacturing (AM).
The alliance comes as Singapore and Malaysia’s manufacturing sectors shift from cost-competitive production to advanced manufacturing, with AM playing a pivotal role. Daniel Johns, founder of TAAG, highlighted the region’s manufacturing ambition, stating, “ASEAN’s manufacturers are asking the right questions about AM technology and business development.”
AMPOWER, founded in 2017 in Hamburg, has established itself as a leader in AM market intelligence, providing insights to OEMs, investors, and policy bodies. The firm, co-founded by Dr. Maximilian Munsch, offers comprehensive market data and strategic advisory services. “TAAG’s strength is building the business to win within the market,” Munsch noted, emphasising the complementary nature of the partnership.
TAAG, with its roots in regulated aerospace AM production, offers a structured programme for commercial and operational transformation. Its Xchange programme is expanding across Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region, providing forums for senior AM executives.
The partnership aims to bridge the gap between market navigation and competitive production, offering tailored solutions for AM service providers, investors, and industrial OEMs. Operating globally, the collaboration promises to deliver a connected offer from market intelligence to production-scale delivery, with no territorial restrictions.
