Today’s guest is Markus Seibold. For those who don’t already know him, Markus has led the AM service and production activities at Siemens for over 10 years.
His deep understanding and contagious passion for additive manufacturing as a transformative technology have enabled him to work at some of the most significant cases for AM industrialization, through Siemens’ internal AM factories and through the acquisition, internalization and expansion of the Siemens Material Solutions business.
Markus is now embarking on the next phase of his professional career in the world of AM as Co-founder of MakerVerse, an innovative online platform that aims to become the leading one-stop shop for industrial-grade quality Additive Manufacturing, ultimately making industrial AM ubiquitous.
How will they accomplish this, especially for the most demanding customers such as energy and aerospace companies? That’s exactly what we are here to find out today.
MakerVerse will leverage the experience built at Siemens Energy. Under Seibold's leadership, Siemens Energy developed into one of the world-leading users of Additive Technologies. With 50+ M-PBF machines, Siemens Energy has one of the biggest installed printer fleets in the world.
As part of Siemens Energy’s strategy to become both a super-advanced user as well as a leading service provider, Markus led the acquisition and integration of Materials Solutions in 2016. Since 2017 he served as VP of Additive Manufacturing and accomplished a 10x growth in business volume with Materials Solutions, serving both Siemens Energy and 3rd party industries, such as Aerospace, Automotive and Machinery & Equipment.
Markus holds a PhD from Technical University of Munich in Production Management, a MBA from University of Georgia and a Diploma in Management Information Systems from University of Regensburg.
With MakerVerse, Markus is pursuing his passion to support the growth of the Additive Industry by innovating not only the technology, but also by applying and scaling new business models. MakerVerse is backed by Siemens Energy, Zeiss and Financial Investors such as NinepointFive.
