TETMET launches first industrial-scale facility in Amsterdam
A strategic European base for advanced manufacturing
TETMET’s Schiphol-area factory marks its first industrial-scale facility, scaling its proprietary ASLM technology beyond the lab. The process enables lightweight, high-strength metal lattices with mass reductions up to 70%, combining AI-driven assembly with off-the-shelf mechatronics and fibre lasers. Unlike traditional 3D printing, ASLM remains flexible and tooling-free.
The lattice technology can cut structural mass while optimising performance characteristics such as vibration and thermal behaviour, with applications ranging from aircraft and satellites to automotive and energy systems, highlighting growth potential beyond aerospace.
“Historically, lattices were only used in large steel structures like bridges or the Eiffel Tower,” the company explains. “Our technology allows them to be used in aerospace, automotive, and even space launcher components.”
The deeptech manufacturers describe this as a new engineering paradigm: programmable metal structures that integrate multiple components into a single architecture, reducing material use, energy demand, and system complexity.
“Our approach shows that ultra-clean, economical, circular manufacturing is possible without overloading energy networks,” the company adds.
In late 2025, TETMET secured additional backing in an ongoing seed round expected to reach USD 6–10 million at a post-money valuation of around USD 38 million, following a successful 2024 pre-seed round.
TETMET’s arrival reinforces the Netherlands’ position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and circular innovation, assisted by the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency and Amsterdam Trade & Invest.
Why TETMET chose the Amsterdam Area
The company chose the Netherlands for its strong business climate, government support, and rapid integration with local industry. “The Schiphol-area location gives us excellent logistics and access to top talent,” the company says.
Over the next two years, the focus will be on first production runs and demonstrating ASLM’s economic viability at industrial scale. Once validated, the Schiphol site will operate as a profit centre specialising in high-value aerospace and defence projects, while serving as a blueprint for future factories across Europe and the United States.
