SCM signs an agreement with Springa for the global distribution of the Goliath CNC robot
07-Aug-2024SCM and Springa, a startup that simplifies access to digital manufacturing tools for craftspeople and professionals, have signed an agreement to distribute Goliath CNC, a portable and flexible numerically controlled milling machine for large-scale projects.
This innovative solution will be sold worldwide under the name “scm maker”, through the group’s authorised distributor network and e-shop.
SCM is also supporting the equity crowdfunding campaign launched by Springa to finance its R&D activities and the industrial production of the CNC robot by signing a PFI worth €300,000 that lasts for two years.The crowdfunding campaign will remain active until October, 12th, 2024 on the CrowdFundMe portal with a maximum collection objective of 2.2 millions.
“SCM firmly believes in innovation initiatives that bring value to the customer. It does this by investing 7% of its annual turnover in R&D and supporting young people and the future of the wood sector and its community,” stated Pietro Gheller, Director of the Scm Group Wood Division. “In the case of Springa, we admired the team's skills, passion and entrepreneurship, and we decided to get involved by joining them. Today, we are doing this by distributing the product and we will potentially continue doing this in the future through a broader partnership. With this new 'maker', SCM strengthens its leadership position in cnc machining centres and continues to complete the range of solutions we offer customers in every market segment."
“Through this campaign we want to consolidate our market position, optimize production and develop new products. The involvement and support of a company like SCM is a great confirmation of the quality of the work and technology developed in recent years, as well as a growth opportunity for Springa's future.” - explains Lorenzo Frangi, Founder and CEO of Springa.
This operation will be guaranteed through the adoption of the technological infrastructure provided by Fleap S.p.A., Europe's leading platform for the management of digital financial assets and the native digitisation of corporate processes based on blockchain technology.
