HUNTSVILLE, AL – Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT), a global leader in cold spray additive manufacturing utilizing their Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ technology, is pleased to announce a series of strategic leadership changes within its European division designed to strengthen operational execution, accelerate growth, and support the company’s global expansion.
The European organization, established under Klaas Rozema and headquartered in Heerenveen, will continue to scale its capabilities in aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial markets, building on the strong foundation established under Klaas’s leadership. Titomic acknowledges and deeply appreciates the extraordinary leadership and entrepreneurial spirit that Klaas has brought since the Dycomet acquisition in 2021. Klaas has been central to integrating Titomic’s technology with Dycomet’s legacy of innovation, expanding the company’s European footprint, supporting the launch of Titomic’s new facilities, and contributing to global Cold Spray adoption.
“Klaas has played an essential role in building what Titomic Europe is today,” said Jim Simpson, CEO and Managing Director of Titomic Ltd. “His dedication to the team, our customers, and the future of Cold Spray has been remarkable. We thank him wholeheartedly for his leadership, and we are grateful he will continue supporting us in an advisory capacity during this next phase.”
As part of a structured transition plan, Chris Myers will assume the role of President, Titomic Europe effective 1 January 2026, succeeding Klaas Rozema, who will transition into the role of Senior Executive Advisor before commencing a planned sabbatical in March 2026. Chris Myers, who has served as part of Titomic’s Senior Advisory Group and Consultant since its inception in January 2025, brings deep experience in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, and defense programs and has been actively transitioning into the leadership role through a structured knowledge-transfer and customer engagement program underway since October 2025. He will assume full executive responsibility on 1 February 2026.
“Klaas, leaving the role of President, has positioned the European division strongly for what’s next,” said Mr. Simpson. “Chris’s background aligns perfectly with our growth strategy, and he is the right leader to expand our customer base, accelerate revenue generation, and build on the momentum across Europe.”
Also, as part of the transition, Ferdy Touwen has been promoted to Deputy President & Head of European Operations, taking responsibility for day-to-day operational leadership, production, quality, logistics, and HR functions. Ferdy will serve as the operational lead under Chris and plays a key role in driving efficiency, delivery performance, and execution excellence across the European business.
This leadership transition follows the recent launch of Titomic’s 59,000 sqft global headquarters in Huntsville, AL, and the continued expansion of its European advanced capabilities in Heerenveen that just had a grand opening of Sept 22, 2025 adding 25,000 sqft for manufacturing.
