By joining this network, X2F is further positioning itself to collaborate on advanced material technologies, participating in joint R&D initiatives, and expanding our footprint in the European market.
“As X2F continues to serve our customers globally, becoming a member of the KIMW network marks an important step forward,” said Tim Reeser, CEO at X2F. “Working alongside KIMW and its partner community allows us to deepen our materials and process expertise, accelerate innovation, and offer even stronger support to our European customers.”
In its new role, X2F will engage in KIMW-driven activities including:
