Hubs, a part of Protolabs since January 2021, is revolutionizing the on-demand manufacturing sector. Founded in Amsterdam in 2013, this company operates an extensive online platform designed to connect engineers with a global network of manufacturing services, offering solutions from CNC machining to 3D printing, and from injection molding to sheet metal fabrication.
Hubs' tagline, "Hubs, a Protolabs company, makes on-demand manufacturing easy and risk-free, from prototyping to end-part production," encapsulates its mission to make custom part manufacturing accessible and streamlined. The company is positioned at the crossroads of multiple industries, including Finance, Industrial, Manufacturing, Social Media, and 3D Printing.
As of its last major funding round— a $20.00M Series C investment in March 2019—Hubs attracted significant interest from investors like Balderton Capital, Endeit Capital, Hearst Ventures, and Arthur Kosten. With its headquarters in The Netherlands, Hubs leverages its strategic position to cater to a diverse range of engineering needs.
