Transform the Fashion Industry through Automated Microfactory Technology for Sustainable Clothing Production

We’re on a mission to empower an industry to make clothes without the heavy negative impact by bringing the world's first automated clothing production technology to the market and we are looking for a Manufacturing Engineer with a flair for manufacturing line automation and mechatronics.

Clothing production contributes by 10% to the global CO2 emissions and each year one third of the clothes made are never sold. Our microfactories unleash the power of making clothes locally and with an up to 98% reduced carbon footprint to any fashion brand or manufacturer who dreams of an ethical and price competitive alternative to the status quo. 

Microfactories are water-free, eliminate dangerous chemicals, and surpass existing alternatives in terms of production lead-time, product flexibility and quality. Our vision is a global network of microfactories enabling clothes to be made anywhere and anytime without harm to the environment or people.
