Titomic Appoints Ralf Prechtl as Vice President of Business Development, EMEA
Industry veteran to drive strategic growth and customer engagement as Titomic expands its European presence with new Netherlands facility opening in September 2025.
HEERENVEEN, NL – Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT), a global leader in Titomic Kinetic Fusion™, a cold spray additive manufacturing technology, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ralf Prechtl as Vice President for Business Development, Europe where he will assist the company in its strategic expansion in the region across a variety of market segments including aerospace, defense, energy and infrastructure.
Mr. Prechtl has over 40 years in the defense, technology, and manufacturing sectors with senior position in business development and P&L positions for Rheinmetall Defence as well as other consultancy and technology companies. He joins us as Titomic expands its European footprint with a larger factory in the Netherlands opening on September 22, 2025.
As industries worldwide face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and extend the lifecycle of equipment, Titomic’s cold spray technology offers a compelling alternative to traditional repair and refurbishment methods. Unlike conventional thermal-based methods, cold spray enables metal coatings and repairs at lower temperatures, preserving base material properties and enabling rapid, large-area deposition.
Titomic aims to directly address the specific challenges faced by European manufacturers and operators, including:
- Corrosion prevention and repair in harsh environments
- Component wear and erosion in high-stress applications
- Downtime and high costs associated with conventional replacement methods
- Environmental targets and circular economy initiatives
“We are very pleased to welcome Ralf to the Titomic team, and we look forward to working with him as we expand in Europe in conjunction with our brand new factory in the Netherlands coming online. We are excited to further bring our proven technologies and solutions to the Europe, helping partners solve problems more efficiently, sustainably, and cost-effectively.”
Jim Simpson, CEO and Managing Director of Titomic
Titomic is committed to providing cold spray technology to customers worldwide, and by adding Ralf to the team we will be able to better service our current and future customers throughout Europe as we expand our manufacturing footprint in the Netherlands to deliver superior coatings and structural repairs that extend the life of critical components reducing downtime, environmental impact, and total cost of ownership.
This announcement has been authorized for release by Titomic’s Board of Directors.
