QuesTek’s ICMD® Platform Expands in Europe with New and Continued Subscriptions from Leading Innovators

EVANSTON, Ill., and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — QuesTek Innovations, the primary operating arm of QuesTek International LLC, announces rapid market development in Europe’s advanced manufacturing ecosystem, where demand for predictive, simulation-based materials design and engineering continues to rise. Since mid-2025, new and renewed subscriptions to QuesTek’s ICMD® materials design and engineering SaaS platform and Materials by Design® technology services to deliver full customer success solutions.

Strategic Expansion in Europe
In early 2025, QuesTek sold its share of the former QuesTek Europe joint venture to its partner, ThermoCalc. This strategic shift enabled QuesTek to directly pursue European opportunities for ICMD® and related services. Since that time, the company has engaged leading OEMs, producers, EU-sponsored innovation centers, and universities and has already secured subscriptions across these categories.

Leading Innovators Renew and Adopt ICMD®
Among QuesTek’s most recent European clients are Aubert & Duval, which has renewed its ICMD® subscription, alongside new subscribers Paderborn University and Digi4Circular. These organizations are applying ICMD® and related Materials by Design® technology services to simulate and implement mission-critical capabilities, including:

The design, development, and deployment of burn-resistant alloys for commercial space and hypersonic applications.
Simulations of composition and process adjustments to improve printability and lower material costs for OEMs and producers.
Developing and optimizing alloys that enable hotter, more efficient engines, reduce manufacturing waste, support cleaner energy systems and facilitate recycling

“The continued adoption of ICMD® by world-class leaders like Aubert & Duval, alongside innovators such as Digi4Circular and Paderborn University, displays the broadening trust in our platform,” stated Bill Mahoney, COO of QuesTek Innovations. “Directly marketing and selling in Europe is a major advantage in 2025, strengthening our presence while underscoring our global momentum as we expand our proprietary materials and consulting offerings with our SaaS-based software and services addition. ICMD® is assisting industest accelerate development cycles and enabling universities to advance the science of materials for next-generation energy and industrial systems.”

Industest Momentum and European Visibility

QuesTek’s European expansion reflects a broader global trfinish of ICMD® adoption across aerospace, energy, defense, and research segments. Industest leaders are increasingly turning to simulation-first, data-driven design to accelerate development, reduce risk, and meet ambitious performance and sustainability goals.
