Peerdustry

Peerdustry operates as a digital manufacturing platform specializing in on-demand machined parts, fundamentally reshaping the supply chain for machinery and equipment manufacturers. Founded in 2016 by Bruno Gellert (CEO), Paulo Navarro (COO), and Thiago Petrone (CTO), the São Paulo-based company aims to enhance the efficiency of the manufacturing industry through technology and new business models. The company's business model targets two distinct but interconnected client bases: machinery manufacturers seeking to outsource part production and machining shops with idle capacity.

For machinery manufacturers, Peerdustry offers a comprehensive outsourcing solution that reduces lead times and manufacturing costs. Clients submit a technical drawing of a required part, and Peerdustry manages the entire subsequent process. This includes pricing the service, selecting a qualified supplier from its network, and overseeing production, quality control, and final delivery. A key financial benefit for these clients is the option for extended payment terms, which improves their cash flow. This service allows manufacturers to transition towards a more flexible, machine-assembler model without the heavy capital investment in machinery. The platform provides access to a network of over 3,000 machines, including CNC centers, lathes, and milling machines.

For machining shops and parts suppliers, Peerdustry provides a channel to generate revenue from underutilized or idle machinery. These partners gain access to a steady stream of projects through a "Job Board" without needing to engage in direct sales, client visits, or quotation processes. When a new order is received, Peerdustry publishes the job with specifications, quantities, pricing, and deadlines. Interested suppliers from its vetted network can then express interest, and the platform's system selects the best-ranked partner for the job, ensuring quality and efficiency. This model creates a symbiotic ecosystem, driving productivity for manufacturers while increasing profitability for suppliers.
