Makersite’s team includes more than 150 employees. According to a company statement, it supports companies such as Microsoft, Daikin, Cummins, Barco, and Schneider Electric in designing safer and more sustainable products.
Lightrock partner Chris Steinau said: “Our commitment to Makersite reflects our strong confidence in their vision and their unique approach—treating sustainability as a balanced trade-off between cost, safety, and environmental performance, rather than simply a ‘green’ checkbox.
“Makersite’s outstanding technology and clear market traction position them as a future leader in helping manufacturers navigate today’s complex challenges and deliver real, measurable impact.”
