Henry takes his role seriously, and has a surprising insight into the AM market, along with human character. He keeps abreast of industry news and technology releases, and where each OEM has a space in the market. This information is not only gleaned from articles but also from boots-on-the-ground investigation and interaction. You can trust a fisherman, to understand the subtlety of an art form.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark from Kensington Additive during my transition to the Business Development Manager role at Indo-MIM, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From our initial conversation to my successful placement, Mark was incredibly communicative, supportive, and professional.

Oerlikon logo

Kensington has been a very valuable partner to Oerlikon, especially in regard to higher level technical positions in the area of Additive Manufacturing where we lack the expertise and talent pool required for our growth. I would recommend they be added to Oerlikon as a global supplier because they are a knowledgeable partner and reliable.

Kensington demonstrated proficiency in understanding our company’s needs and the nuances of our industry, with fast and seamless interactions, timely responses and assistance whenever required. We were presented with not one, but two exceptionally promising candidates. As a result, we are currently considering expanding our team by filling the position twice.
