May 12, 2026 – Samuel, Son & Co., Limited (Samuel), a leading metals distributor and industrial products manufacturer, announced today that it is selling its additive manufacturing business, Burloak Technologies, to i3D Manufacturing, a division of BTX Precision.

“While additive manufacturing is on the leading edge of technology, and Burloak has developed a position of technical leadership in the 3D printing and aerospace markets during Samuel’s ownership, we believe i3D is the right long-term strategic partner to support Burloak's growth objectives,” stated Colin Osborne, President and CEO of Samuel. “With their support, Burloak will continue to not only benefit from expansion in existing areas but also from growth in new markets.” 

Effective today, Burloak Technologies will transition to i3D Manufacturing. Samuel continues to operate more than 70 Service Center, automotive and diversified manufacturing locations across North America, offering customers extensive services, including metal processing and finishing, and automated solutions.
