Ok, this is a big one: http://www.makerbot.com/blog/2014/08/01/makerbot-announcing-makerbot-europe/
MakerBot is acquiring parts of Germany’s based Hafner’s Büro (responsible for reseller managements for years now) and founded the MakerBot Europe GmbH & Co. KG!
Ok, it seems like those “parts” are quite big as http://hafners-buero.com is already redirected to MakerBot websites.
No matter what’s your take on MakerBot in general: Congratulations to Alexander Hanfer and his team for pulling this off.
