SYS Systems, which is part of Derby-based Carfulan Group, has been achieved ‘Number 1 Partner Status’ for Stratasys across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) thanks to a 20% increase in 3D printing hardware sales.
The company has seen revenues for its additive manufacturing solutions hit over £4m for the first time and this, when combined with outstanding customer service and technical expertise, has seen it secure the prestigious honour from the leading industrial 3D printer brand in the world.
SYS Systems currently works with companies in twelve industries across the UK and Ireland, providing access to technology that can help companies with rapid prototyping, medical modelling and low to medium-volume manufacturing. It has been delivering access to FDM, Polyjet, P3, Saf and medical printers since 2009 and these machines have supported customers to achieve cost and time savings, as well as manufacturing innovations in sectors, including aerospace, defence, education and dentistry.

Matt Fulton, joint Managing Director of SYS Systems, commented: “We have represented Stratasys since 2009, so to achieve this global recognition means the world to our business. It’s a real testament to the knowledge and commitment of our amazing team.
“The 3D printing giant spends $multimillion on R&D, bringing out new products and materials that – through our business and contacts – are helping UK and Irish manufacturers push the boundaries of innovation.”
He continued: “The Number 1 Partner status in EMEA will hopefully raise awareness among other companies to come and partner with us on their manufacturing journey.”
Based in a £2.5m Advanced Innovation Centre near Derby, SYS Systems showcases more than 25 different technologies on offer from Stratasys, spanning FDM, Polyjet, P3 and SAF technologies.
Chris Fulton, who runs SYS Systems with his brother Matt, went on to add: “2026 is going to be another defining year for 3D printing and we’re leading the curve by introducing new materials and new advancements.
“One example is the introduction of machines that can print in metal and ceramics, complementing our core polymer range. This should reduce barriers to AM adoption by delivering solutions ideal for end-use applications that need to be metallic for strength, conductivity and heat resistance.”
He concluded: “We’ll be showcasing this extension to our range at the high-profile MACH show in April (20-24th), as well as a range of parts produced using the new Stratasys P3 Silicone 25a material.”
