Gilad Gans joins Roboze Advisory Board
Covid19 showed all of us how obsolete and unsustainable the current supply chain is, where parts are produced in a place and shipped all over the world. The urgent need to bring manufacturing back to the point of use can be no longer postponed. Manufacturing must be part of the value within the territory where it is done and where parts find their concrete application. This will reduce the impact of C02 emissions, producing parts just in time and on demand, close to the point of use. ROBOZE is committed to print a bigger picture, re-shoring production, reducing warehouse costs and shippings, creating a more sustainable future, realizing the ROBOZE vision of distributed manufacturing in the world.
“To realize our vision, to distribute manufacturing close to the point of use, we need to learn from the past in order to better define the future. I am sure that having an industry titan like Gilad in our advisory board, will be incredibly beneficial for all of us”

“I met Alessio few years ago and from that time we regularly speak. Few weeks ago, we spoke again and after understanding better the current and future technologies the company is working on, along with the growing plan and vision behind the ROBOZE distributed manufacturing, we jointly decided to start embracing this new adventure. ROBOZE demonstrated groundbreaking high temperature and composites materials extrusion technology, with a long list of happy customers and real validated industrial applications across strategic industries like space, defense, energy, electrical mobility, transportation. ROBOZE has hundreds of machines in the world, and now, thanks to the manufacturing as a service unit, ROBOZE 3D Parts, ROBOZE is helping customers to scale production close to the point of use, just in time and on demand. I am seeing here a great scaling production opportunity with 3D Printing, which is based on innovative, smarter and customers-oriented business models.” says Gilad.

Best technology is just one of the gaps we filled so far, it is now the right time to scale up the business globally and to do it we need experienced executives as well as young talents.
