WALTHAM, MA – Nano Dimension Ltd. (Nasdaq: NNDM, “Nano Dimension” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printers, announced today that it closed a series of landmark sales of Additive Manufacturing printers and Additive Electronics robotics systems in Q2/2023 which are material in size and customers’ profiles that are leading and large-scale businesses and organizations.

These sales are only a portion of the Company’s $14.8 million in sales for the quarter (preliminarily results were announced last week), but they are material due to both the financial terms and perhaps more importantly to the profile of the customers which we look forward to continuing to support in the future. The initial sales totaling over $4 million in revenue and include some recurring revenues are to businesses and organizations that are leaders in their respective fields. While the names of the customers cannot be shared as they are defense related and/or focus on IP sensitive work, a partial list of the organizations includes: a space exploration company, a satellite equipment innovator, a national defense agency, a nuclear research group, and a computer manufacturer.

The portfolio of products sold are from across Nano Dimension’s product lines with a notable portion being the DragonFly® IV System for Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and a range of Additive Electronics robotics systems. These products are leveraged for a range of uses from innovation and prototyping to high-mix, low-volume production.

Yoav Stern, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nano Dimension, added, “We are proud of our progress with sales not only increasing by revenue and gross margin metrics – quarter-over-quarter, year-over-year – but we are also seeing that the profile of customers who choose to do business with us is advancing up to the higher levels. These customers are leaders in performing some of the most demanding, forward-looking work that will keep us safe and define our future, or both. These are only a portion of our revenue, but a great indicator of our success – and an encouraging indication for the future.”

KEMPEN, GERMANY – Value orientation, experience, responsi- bility, innovation: These four terms are written on the coloured stickers that Brigitte and Ralf Schwartz as well as Britta and Benjamin Alfes are pinning on the blue Peters barrel. After this, the employees stick their labels on the barrel, showing words like team spirit, courage, motivation, communication, appreciation and flexibility - being the raw materials for successfully shaping the future of the family business together.

Within a staff meeting, the Management of the family-owned company founded 53 years ago informed the staff of the coatings manufacturer based in Lower Rhine Area, and took them along into the future. The third generation, Britta and Benjamin Alfes, have been appointed to the Management team with immediate effect, thus completing the team together with Brigitte and Ralf Schwartz. On 31 December 2025, the second generation Brigitte and Ralf Schwartz, will retire from the active business of the Peters Group. From 1 January 2026 onwards, the granddaughter of the company founder Werner Peters who passed away in 2017 at the age of 85, and her husband Benjamin Alfes will be sole managing directors.

The two 33-year-olds have been involved in the company for a good six years and spent a year in Shanghai in 2019, where they helped to shape the newly founded local subsidiary. Britta Alfes studied International Business in Maastricht and, together with her husband Benjamin Alfes, has been part of the Peters team at the Peters headquarterssince 2017. Benjamin Alfes studied Industrial Engineering at the Technical University of Aachen and, like his wife, graduated from the Luise-von-Duesberg-Gymnasium in Kempen in 2009.

Ralf and Brigitte Schwartz have been at the helm of the company for around 40 years and, with a motivated workforce, have made Peters into one of the world's leading full-range suppliers of coating materials for electronics.

The employees at the Peters headquarters in Kempen were receiving the family's decision with applause. "We have given a lot of thought to the strategic development of our company and the responsible transfer of responsibilities," emphasised Ralf Schwartz, spokesman for the Management.

Brigitte Schwartz points out that the transition process will be carried out involving the staff. "Securing your jobs and our business relationships are our top priority," says Werner Peters' daughter.

"For a transformation into the future world, we need innovation in organisational structures, processes, services and products," Benjamin Alfes explains. Britta Alfes adds: "By acting sustainably in every workplace, we want to take responsibility for this generation and the next.

Both are prepared to contribute to the successful continuation of Peters and its growth. The parents are visibly proud of this.

PLANO, TX – Siemens Digital Industries Software announced today that it will expand its Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to focus on helping mutual integrated circuit (IC) and electronics design customers leverage AWS’s advanced cloud services to shorten design cycles, optimize engineering resources and boost verification coverage using current and forthcoming Siemens EDA products. This extended SCA builds upon the companies’ strong track record of providing customers with the agility, flexibility and adaptability needed to help turn ideas into innovation with greater efficiency and speed.

High performance cloud computing provides IC and systems developers with effective ways to address the ever-expanding design complexity, demand for massive computing capacity, and the challenge of distributed, cross-organization collaboration. When leveraging the right partners, architectures, and security practices, the cloud can help accelerate design and verification cycles, while enabling productivity improvement and assist customers in focusing resources on the highest-value activities.

“For many years, Arm has successfully run a broad array of EDA solutions from Siemens on Arm Neoverse-based AWS Graviton instances to rapidly simulate and verify our IP. Using Siemens’ Questa software, we’ve simulated processor designs with the latest Graviton3, reducing our time to result by 20-30 percent,” said Mark Galbraith, Vice President of Productivity Engineering, Arm. “Leveraging world-class technologies from industry leaders like AWS and Siemens EDA ensures Arm IP will continue to enable the world’s leading IC design and systems companies to differentiate and win in competitive markets.”

Siemens and AWS are collaborating to develop Cloud Flight Plans, which are best-known methods (BKMs) and technologies for running Siemens’ EDA tools in customers’ AWS environments. Cloud Flight Plans are ideal for customers looking to self-manage their AWS environments.

“IC development is a compute-intensive process, so having ready access to additional capacity and alternative system configurations is extremely valuable to our customers,” said Craig Johnson, Vice President, EDA Cloud Solutions for Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Deployment complexity has historically been a major challenge. Our expanded collaboration with AWS focuses on combining our mastery of electronics design with AWS’s infrastructure, consulting and cloud deployment assistance to accelerate our mutual customers’ outcomes.”

“AWS is accelerating the performance of IC and electronics design workloads by delivering elastic, high-performance computing (HPC) for the most sophisticated EDA solutions,” said, Bill Vass, Vice President of Engineering, AWS. “Our strategic collaboration with Siemens allows mutual customers to create innovate new products in the cloud today, and now includes significant semiconductor innovation with Siemens EDA.”
