Organization and Description of Business

 

Xometry, Inc. (“Xometry”, the “Company”, “we”, or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2013. Xometry is a global online marketplace connecting buyers with suppliers of manufacturing services, transforming one of the largest industries in the world. We use our proprietary technology to create a marketplace that enables buyers to efficiently source manufactured parts and assemblies, and empower suppliers of manufacturing services to grow their businesses. Xometry's corporate headquarters is located in North Bethesda, Maryland.

 

We use proprietary technology to enable product designers, engineers, buyers, and supply chain professionals to instantly access the capacity of a global network of manufacturing facilities. The Company’s platform makes it possible for buyers to quickly receive pricing, expected lead times, manufacturability feedback and place orders on the Company’s platform. The network allows the Company to provide high volumes of unique parts, including custom components and aftermarket parts for its buyers.

 

Xometry’s suppliers’ capabilities include computer numerical control manufacturing, sheet metal forming, sheet cutting, 3D printing (including fused deposition modeling, direct metal laser sintering, PolyJet, stereolithography, selective laser sintering, binder jetting, carbon digital light synthesis and multi jet fusion), die casting, stamping, injection molding, urethane casting, tube cutting, tube bending, as well as finishing services, rapid prototyping and high-volume production.

 

We empower suppliers to grow their manufacturing businesses and improve machine uptime by providing access to an extensive, diverse base of buyers. We also offer suppliers supporting products and services to meet their unique needs. Our suite of supplier services includes a cloud-based manufacturing execution system, access to competitively priced tools, materials and supplies from leading brands and financial service products to stabilize and enhance cash flow. In addition, we offer suppliers digital marketing and data solutions and SaaS based solutions to help suppliers optimize their productivity. In 2021, we acquired Thomas Publishing Company (“Thomas”) and Fusiform, Inc. (d/b/a FactoryFour) (“FactoryFour”), expanding our basket of supplier services to include advertising and marketing services and to a lesser extent SaaS based solutions to help suppliers optimize their productivity.

During 2022, we launched the Industrial Buying Engine™ (“IBE”), which helps customers source and purchase from the more than 500,000 suppliers on Thomasnet.com. The IBE digitizes the old and time-consuming request-for-quote process and allows buyer and suppliers to transact on Thomasnet. In addition, through IBE buyers can receive instant quotes from Xometry. We also introduced Workcenter which gives suppliers a one-stop view into all of their Xometry and non-Xometry work. A cloud-based manufacturing execution system, Workcenter brings the job board and financial services into one, easy-to-use platform. With Workcenter, shop owners can build and manage workflows for all their projects, including those from non-Xometry customers, and also quote new projects from Xometry and Thomas.
