CTO breakfast

Sander Havik, director of Industry at Spark, delved into the statement: "Machine builders don’t build machines; they build solutions." Where the discussion mainly focussed on the cost optimization opportunities and difficulties that arise when translating a device that was designed with a machine builders mindset – finished when it does the trick – into a device that is manufactured in 50+ a year. An interesting design and manufacturing challenge indeed!

Founder-partner Robert Barnhoorn summarized the importance of cost optimization: "We are often asked whether we can halve the cost price of an existing product. With an integrated approach, technical expertise, and our diverse team, we can often make that happen. That is true innovation." Are you a CTO looking to optimize the cost and manufacturability of your product? We’d love to think along with you!
