-- A recognition to Harada Vehicle Design's commitment to quality production in 
additive manufacturing (AM) 

EOS, the world's leading technology supplier in the field of industrial 3D 
printing of metals and polymers, awarded the first Additive Manufacturing 
Quality (AMQ) certification in Japan to Harada Vehicle Design (HVD), a 
testament to HVD's position in the part manufacturing industry.

"We are excited to be the first manufacturer in Japan to receive the AMQ 
certification, which is an acknowledgement of our quality management standards 
in AM metal and polymer part production," said Hisamitsu Harada, Chief 
Executive Officer, HVD. "Working with EOS enables us to establish a robust 
manufacturing flow management process and expand our global supply chain to 
bring Japan's AM expertise worldwide. We look forward to furthering our 
partnership with EOS and NTT Data Engineering Systems Corporation to be at the 
forefront of the AM part production industry and Japan's manufacturing sector."

HVD officially received the AMQ certification in May 2019 and was JIS Q9100 
certified in July 2015. HVD has been working with NTT Data Engineering Systems 
Corporation (NDES) since 2015, and eventually with EOS and through EOS' joint 
partnership with NDES. Since then, HVD successfully expanded their footprint in 
using 3D CAD for part production in a wider range of manufacturing sectors. As 
the first AMQ recipient in Japan, HVD will continue to work closely with EOS to 
provide its customers with the highest quality in areas such as wire harness 
design and mass production manufacturing.

"The EOS AMQ certification demonstrates our dedication to help our customers 
pursuit the highest levels of quality and success in their AM journey. The AM 
market in Japan has shown significant growth and adoption, especially in the 
domestic manufacturing sector[1], and having the EOS' AMQ certification is 
vital in ensuring that quality excellence will be met in all aspects of AM 
production," said Terrence Oh, Senior VP, (EOS Asia-Pacific). "In addition, our 
in-house consulting unit, Additive Minds, partners with our customers like HVD, 
to strengthen their AM value proposition by enhancing the level of quality 
assurance within their organization."
