NPM Capital invests in Ultimaker

Ultimaker intends to use the capital to accelerate product development and invest in additional sales, marketing and R&D resources to expand globally.

NPM will become a majority shareholder, while the manufacturer's three founders will remain as shareholders.

The private equity firm specialises in buyout, growth and replacement capital transactions of medium-sized companies. It typically invests €20-200m in companies valued between €50-500m operating across various sectors including food, healthcare, e-commerce and energy sector suppliers in the Benelux region.

In May 2017, NPM exited dental practice chain Samenwerkende Tandartsen via a trade sale to DentConnect.
