Danish company COBOD International signs a new distribution agreement with the Australian company Fortex. This is part of the company’s strategy to bring construction 3D printing technology to Australia and strengthen construction 3D printing in the Asia-Pacific region. The first BOD2 3D printer will arrive in Australia in Q4, with the COBOD devices available to order immediately.
So far, Australia has been the only continent where COBOD has not yet been represented. With Fortex as a new distributor, COBOD now has customers on six continents worldwide using and selling COBOD’s 3D printers.
Fortex CEO David Lederer stated, “Fortex is proud to be laying the foundation for a new paradigm in construction in Australia with COBOD 3D printers. The first printer in Australia will be the BOD2 5-9-2 model, which will enable us to build houses faster, giving better results for both builders and consumers.”
In Asia Pacific, COBOD has three distributors: Siam Cement in Thailand, KA Bina in Malaysia and now Fortex in Australia, alongside direct customers in India, Japan and Malaysia. To support the region’s customers and dealers, COBOD is now opening a regional office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Dealers and customers can visit COBOD at the regional office in Kuala Lumpur, experience live construction 3D printing, tour a 3D printed building and speak to COBOD’s experts in construction 3D printing, materials, architecture and project execution.
Simon Klint Bergh, Head of Asia Pacific Region at COBOD, states: “We are extremely proud to partner with Fortex to bring our cutting-edge 3D construction printing technology to Australia. Together with our new distribution partners Siam Cement in Thailand and KA Bina in Malaysia as well as our new regional office in Malaysia, this means that we will continue to develop the growing market in the Asia-Pacific region.”
COBOD is at the forefront of 3D construction printing worldwide and counts world-leading companies such as General Electric and PERI among its customers and shareholders.
