Additive manufacturer Conflux expands to UK

Australian heat exchanger specialist Conflux Technology has announced the establishment of its first European business hub in the United Kingdom, marking a significant expansion for the Melbourne-based advanced manufacturing firm.

The new facility, announced on Monday, will initially focus on research and development, materials certification, and local supply chain support, with plans to develop into a full production centre as demand grows.

According to Conflux, Europe represents over 35 per cent of its business, with existing partnerships spanning aerospace companies like Rocket Factory Ausberg, AMCM, and several Formula 1 teams.

“We are extremely proud to celebrate ten years of spearheading transformation in heat exchanger technology for superior performance with such a significant milestone,” said Michael Fuller, CEO and Founder of Conflux Technology.

“Europe is a key market for us – Conflux UK will not only shape the future of the automotive, motorsport and aerospace markets, but also establish supply chain resilience.”

The company specialises in additive manufactured (3D printed) heat exchangers through its Conflux Production System, which combines thermo-fluid design expertise with advanced metal additive manufacturing to create lighter, more compact thermal solutions.

This technology has applications across multiple high-performance industries including aerospace, automotive, energy, and defence sectors where weight reduction and thermal efficiency deliver competitive advantages.

The UK facility is expected to open later this quarter, representing the company’s first physical presence in Europe after a decade of operation.
