Lübeck, Germany July 12, 2022. SLM Solutions Group AG ("SLM Solutions", "SLM" or the "Company") announces the completion of the first two NXG XII 600 production systems during the second quarter of 2022. Following the successful roll-out of the NXG XII 600 with orders from a wide array of industries the Company has begun deliveries of these initial orders and expects the pace of deliveries to accelerate during the second half of 2022.

The first two systems of these initial orders are ready to be delivered to Divergent Technologies, resulting in an install base of 16 SLM® systems including five NXG XII 600 systems.

Sam O’Leary, CEO of SLM Solutions said, “The fact that we successfully completed the first two NXG XII 600 production systems in the first half of 2022, despite the ongoing supply challenges is a testament to the grit and tireless efforts of a host of teams that come together to deliver the future. The first two NXG XII 600 production systems will be delivered to Divergent Technologies, a company that we are proud to partner with, as they continue to disrupt the auto manufacturing industry.
