Counting on the founders’ 60 years worth of experience, combined with suppliers from 20 countries in three continents, Making.com collects and democratises knowledge of processes and specialised systems, explaining the how's and why's as well as connecting the who's and what's.

It simplifies contact between makers, people interested in investing in technology or a new process, to specialised companies with knowledge of the industrial steps such as extraction, filling, sterilizing, separating and packing, to name a few. Over 300 products are already listed on Making.com at launch.

Jorrit Aafjes, CEO and Founder of Making.com, commented: “We believe we need to celebrate the makers. The know-how and efforts they put into building and improving the products we use on a daily basis are underestimated. At the same time we have a significant and immediate need, as mankind, to rethink how we make things. People must have access to new technologies that can quickly help shape better products. At Making.com, we gather these technologies around the products that they can help make, and invite all makers to contribute with their expertise and experience.”

As the world re-emerges and searches for solutions to kickstart economies and deal with the climate crisis, manufacturing is a key-focus area. For example, in the US alone, manufacturing accounts for eight percent of the workforce, 11% of the country’s GDP, 20% of capital stock, 35% of productivity growth, 55% of patents, 60% of exports, and 70% of R&D investment, according to the report on US manufacturing from McKinsey Global Institute – MGI in 2021.

These figures highlight the need for industries to reinvent themselves to meet the demand for products that are already being consumed.

Making.com solves this problem by offering a channel to help make production technology more accessible, providing a shortcut for people who want to reimagine the manufacturing processes.
