Mango x Ziknes
Spanish fashion retailer Mango is making an investment in Ziknes, a start-up specializing in software and robotic 3D printing systems. This technology enables a swift transition from design to print, utilizing recycled materials in just a matter of minutes. Mango will be supporting Ziknes financially through a convertible participation loan, with the investment facilitated by its StartUp Studio.
Ziknes’ entry into an acceleration program, facilitated by Mango, signifies a learning opportunity for entrepreneurs to understand Mango’s operations firsthand and scale up their business model. As part of this initiative, the Ziknes team will benefit from advice and mentoring sessions provided by Mango’s experts, particularly in the field of product design, specifically furniture design.
Founded in 2021, Ziknes is dedicated to “revolutionizing manufacturing” by combining 3D printing and robotics. This integration aims to enhance efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability in production processes. The start-up is committed to using low-energy technologies, emphasizing the reduction of material waste.
