The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) has added EOS Head of Sustainability Björn Hannappel to its Board of Directors.
It follows the elevation of EOS as a Principal Member of the organisation. Hannapell has been serving on the board since January 1st, 2026.
Principal Membership represents AMGTA’s highest level of engagement and is reserved for organisations demonstrating 'sustained leadership, strategic alignment, and a commitment to advancing sustainable and resilient manufacturing practices globally.' As a Principal Member, EOS will take on an expanded role in shaping AMGTA’s strategic direction, governance, and industry collaboration initiatives.
“I am thrilled to welcome EOS and Björn Hannappel to this expanded role in shaping AMGTA,” said Sherri Monroe, AMGTA Executive Director. “EOS’s elevation to Principal Member reflects both the company’s established leadership in additive manufacturing and its commitment to advancing sustainability at scale. We are also pleased to welcome Björn Hannappel to the AMGTA Board, where his expertise will strengthen our ability to deliver meaningful, industry-driven outcomes.”
“EOS exemplifies the kind of leadership the AMGTA seeks to elevate—combining technological innovation with a disciplined, outcomes-driven approach to sustainability,” added Brian Neff, AMGTA Board Chair and CEO of Sintavia. “Björn Hannappel’s appointment to the Board strengthens our collective ability to guide the additive manufacturing ecosystem toward solutions that are not only more efficient and resilient, but also economically and environmentally sound.”
As Head of Sustainability at EOS, Hannappel leads initiatives focused on environmental performance, resource efficiency, and long-term value creation across industrial additive manufacturing systems. In his role on the AMGTA Board of Directors, he will contribute to guiding the organisation’s mission, priorities, and global impact.
“The decision to deepen our engagement with AMGTA aligns closely with EOS’s commitment to responsible innovation and sustainable industrial transformation,” offered Hannappel. “Additive manufacturing is already reshaping how products are designed, produced, and delivered, and collaboration across the ecosystem is essential to realising its full environmental and economic potential.”
