Materialise hires 20 people in Plymouth

The U.S. arm of Materialise, a Belgian-based corporation, is on a hiring spree in Plymouth. The industrial and medical additive manufacturer moved its office from Ann Arbor to Plymouth two years ago and has grown its presence there to 50 employees and the occasional intern. That's after Materialise hired 20 new people in the last year. "We're growing all of our business units," says Jamie Milas, global marketing manager for Materialise. "We have four business units Plymouth. The fastest growth came from our medical production team." The medical production team accounted for 17 of the company's 20 hires in Plymouth. The company also has six open positions for four full-time employees and two interns. The company is aiming to hit 70 employees in Plymouth over the next year. "It looks like we will probably hit it," Milas says.
