Peter Jacobsen has been appointed President, EMEA, and Aidan O'Sullivan has been named President, Americas. Both executives bring extensive leadership experience in advanced manufacturing, operational excellence, and strategic business transformation, positioning Quickparts to meet the evolving needs of customers across industries.

“Quickparts has always been at the forefront of helping companies innovate and scale their manufacturing operations quickly and reliably,” said Avi Reichental, Chief Executive Officer of Quickparts. “With Aidan and Peter leading our regional organisations, we are empowering our teams to deliver faster decision-making, deeper customer partnerships, and greater operational agility. Their leadership will help drive the next phase of growth for Quickparts as we continue expanding our capabilities and market reach.”

• Peter Jacobsen, based in Denmark, brings over 15 years of experience managing complex operations, strategic growth initiatives, and business transformations across Europe and the United States. Before joining Quickparts, Jacobsen served as General Manager for Nexa3D’s EMEA operations and was previously Chief Operating Officer at Addifab. His deep expertise in advanced manufacturing technologies and operational leadership will be instrumental in driving Quickparts’ continued success across the EMEA region. 

“I am honoured to lead Quickparts' EMEA operations and help strengthen our global capabilities," he said. "Quickparts has a powerful reputation for innovation, customer service, and manufacturing excellence. I am eager to collaborate with our teams and customers across the region to unlock new opportunities and deliver exceptional value.”

• Aidan O'Sullivan, based in the United States, brings more than 20 years of manufacturing, operations, and commercial leadership experience. Most recently, O'Sullivan served as Quickparts’ Chief Transformation Officer, where he played a key role in optimising operations and spearheading strategic growth initiatives. Prior to Quickparts, he held senior roles at Shapeways, including General Manager of E-commerce and Enterprise Sales and Vice President of Operations. Earlier in his career, O’Sullivan held operational leadership positions at Kerry Group, the Irish food group, overseeing multiple manufacturing sites and driving significant operational improvements and acquisition integrations. 

“I am excited to lead Quickparts' Americas operations at a time when manufacturing innovation and supply chain agility are more critical than ever," he said. "Our customers are navigating rapidly changing market conditions, and Quickparts is uniquely positioned to help them succeed with speed, scale, and quality. I look forward to deepening our customer relationships and building on our legacy of excellence.”

This regional leadership structure strengthens Quickparts’ ability to deliver best-in-class solutions across the full product lifecycle — from rapid prototyping and tooling to full-scale production — and further reinforces its position as a trusted partner in a rapidly evolving manufacturing and supply chain environment.

Sales director for Europe.

The appointment of Isabelle Nourry as the Quickparts Sales Director for Europe has been announced. The appointment is part of the company’s plans to grow across the European Union and Britain.

Ziad Abou, CEO at Quickparts, said: “Under Isabelle’s leadership, we have seen significant growth in our manufacturing divisions within Europe. We look forward to her continued contributions to the company's success.”

Isabelle brings 18 years of experience in manufacturing and a wealth of expertise in sales and business development, having previously held leadership positions at Hytek GB Ltd. and IF Ltd.

Her role, which officially began in December 2022, is to drive revenue growth and build strong relationships with major manufacturers across the European region. She has also implemented ambitious plans promoting supply chain reliability for customers within European markets; particularly promoting localised manufacturing that enables customers to order custom-made products quickly and easily.

There is a common misconception amongst European manufacturers and Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers that’ for volume production, the predominant producer of parts is China; especially for CNC machined parts and injection moulded parts. Isabelle is keen to change that notion.

"I am thrilled to have joined the team at Quickparts. In my previous roles, I worked for companies that had to turn to China to buy production parts, which resulted in high minimum order quantity upfront payments, long lead-times, and huge storage costs. I was surprised to learn that it's possible for any size of company to work with a local manufacturer like Quickparts. Quickparts is not just for highly engineered prototypes, but it also delivers on low and mid volume production runs. Quickparts owns six state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, equipped with the latest additive and traditional manufacturing technologies. Three of these are in Europe. There’s no minimum order quantity, pricing is competitive, lead times are short, the emphasis is on quality, and we have some exceptional local expertise,” Isabelle stated. “So, my main goal is for European manufacturers to learn about our services, and to know that Quickparts can meet their needs locally."
