“We are honored and humbled to be the launch investment out of the new Stifel North Atlantic AM-Forward Fund,” said Brian R. Neff, Sintavia’s Founder & CEO. “It is great to see Stifel’s strong commitment to funding profitable, high-growth users of additive technology, and this new fund will certainly have a positive impact across the industry.”

“Sintavia is a fantastic fit for the mission of our Fund and Brian has proven to be a visionary leader for Sintavia, and the additive manufacturing sector more broadly,” said Mark Morrissette, Managing Director of North Atlantic Capital, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stifel. “The entire Sintavia team has done a terrific job since 2015 in building a vertically integrated, all-digital aerospace component supplier that leverages the positive benefits of additive technology, and we look forward to working with Brian in the coming years as a partner.” With the new investment, Mr. Morrissette joins Sintavia’s board of directors.

The Stifel investment comes nine months after Sintavia announced its $25 million expansion plan, which included investments in facilities, larger industrial printers, and additional post-processing equipment. The new facility became operational in January 2025.
