Prototal Group is now also manufacturing series components made of plastic in the DACH region. Northern Europe's largest provider for industrial 3D printing and injection molding has opened a location at the headquarters of its specialized subsidiary 1zu1scale in Dornbirn. With its own sales structure and integration into the production network, Prototal Group enables flexible series production with secure supply chains in the DACH region. The offering is primarily aimed at companies in aerospace, defense, and the automotive industry.

With over 130 industrial 3D printing systems, more than 110 injection molding machines, integrated toolmaking, and 10 production sites, Prototal Group is one of Europe's leading providers. The corporate group, headquartered in Jönköping (Sweden), covers the entire value chain from prototype to series production. Prototal Group is a production partner for various industries and operates specialized competence centers for aerospace, defense, and the automotive industry.

The newly founded subsidiary Prototal GmbH in Dornbirn provides customers in the DACH region with direct access to the European production network. They now benefit from flexible manufacturing, technological diversity, and the group's extensive material portfolio. "Trust is the key to successfully scaling new product solutions globally. This requires good service and, above all, local consulting," emphasizes Jan Löfving, CEO of Prototal Group. The geographically favorable location in the Lake Constance region is easily accessible for customers from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Digital supply chain for operational resilience

The decentralized network offers high capacities and provides security and stability. "As a strategic partner, we reliably protect our customers' series production from disruptions. Production processes remain predictable even under demanding market conditions," says Business Developer Kilian Rottenberger. Risk minimization is also achieved thanks to the digital supply chain. Prototal Group manufactures components and spare parts on demand. The "cloud warehouse" reduces physical inventory costs and shortens downtime from months to days.

Global expansion strategy

Prototal Group's market entry into the DACH region is part of its worldwide growth strategy. Over the past few years, the group has built global sales structures for industries such as aerospace, defense, and mobility, and has invested in new machinery at all locations. "Through Prototal Group, we offer innovative companies direct access to Europe's leading network for additive manufacturing and plastic injection molding. For small, delicate components with high requirements such as ISO 13485 certification or cleanroom environments, 1zu1scale is the right address," explains Jimmy Müller, Head of Sales at Prototal GmbH.
