Synopsis

Wilhelmsen and Thyssenkrupp have come together in a ground-breaking partnership that leverages on Thyssenkrupp’s expertise in 3D printing and Wilhelmsen’s long standing supply know-how and extensive maritime distribution network to offer a better way to source for spare parts - through their additive manufacturing fulfilment platform, with product testing and quality assurance endorsed by DNV. The venture is manufacturing spare parts on-demand using 3D printing and other technologies, close to the point of need, solving key spare part pain points: long lead time, poor part performance, part obsolescence. Serving more than 3500 vessels and multiple OEMs, e.g., Kongsberg Maritime, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Valland, the venture is enabling the transition to a digital supply chain in the maritime and offshore industry.
