Würth Additive Group to Launch First Edition of Digital Inventory Services (DIS) at AMUG 2025

CHICAGO, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Würth Additive Group, a leader in digital supply chain solutions, will officially launch the first edition of its Digital Inventory Services (DIS) platform on March 31, 2025, at the Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) Conference in Chicago. This milestone marks the transition from MVP to First Edition functionality, introducing a secure, quality-assured digital distribution network. Built to operate within Würth's global infrastructure, channels, and supplier network, DIS empowers additive manufacturing users and stakeholders with tools to manage, authenticate, and deploy parts at scale.

Bringing Digital Inventory to Life

First unveiled at AMUG 2024, Würth's Digital Inventory Services (DIS) offers a secure, scalable way to store and transmit validated part data. In 2025, the platform becomes fully operational, allowing OEMs, suppliers, and service providers to manage digital files, oversee distributed production workflows, and ensure part availability in real time—helping organizations navigate supply chain complexity and production constraints with confidence.

A Smarter Approach to Digital Inventory Distribution

The DIS platform gives users the ability to:

• Securely store validated manufacturing workflows, including OEM-certified recipes, to support quality assurance, traceability, and repeatability.
• Enhance security and protect intellectual property through encrypted authentication and controlled access.
• Enable just-in-time manufacturing to reduce lead times and mitigate disruptions.
• Operate within Würth's existing global supply chain—leveraging an established network of systems, suppliers, and infrastructure.

"This technology supports our customers as they integrate the next generation of inventory management, with an emphasis on sustainability, security, and scalability," said Larry Stevens, Executive Vice President of Würth Line Industry Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Americas. "By merging additive manufacturing with Würth's digital supply chain infrastructure, we are expanding how companies source, manage, and deploy parts globally—helping them align inventory strategies with operational and sustainability goals."

Shaping the Future of Supply Chain Integration

At Additive Manufacturing Strategies (AMS) 2025, Würth leaders shared insights on bridging traditional supply chains with additive manufacturing technologies. Dimitrios Mitskos (Würth Canada), Dario Komsic (IMS Verbindungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG), and AJ Strandquist (Würth Additive Group) addressed key themes, including the secure distribution of qualified inventory, compliance and traceability in AM workflows, and the strategic advantages of integrating DIS across legacy systems.

"DIS is purpose-built for industrial users who need reliability, flexibility, and speed," said AJ Strandquist, CEO of Würth Additive Group. "We invite innovators to join our digital catalog and connect with Würth's trusted global supplier and distribution network. Together, we're creating secure pathways to manufacture and deliver validated parts—anytime, anywhere."

AMUG 2025 Rollout & Implementation Support

Attendees of AMUG 2025 will be among the first to purchase and implement the DIS platform. Würth Additive Group will offer on-site demonstrations, purchasing opportunities, and support to help users begin integrating digital inventory into their operations—backed by Würth's infrastructure and strategic supplier relationships.

For those unable to attend AMUG in Chicago this year, additional resources are available at the Digital Inventory Services Product Page. There, additive manufacturing users and their stakeholders can explore the full story behind DIS and take the next step toward integrating digital inventory management into their supply chain strategies. Visitors can also connect with DIS Product Manager, Victor Kurtz, to schedule time and discuss how the platform can support their operational objectives.
