European manufacturing is brilliant at design—but slowed by tooling, inventory and distance. Too many launches miss windows, too much cash sits in stock, and too much waste leaves value on the table. We started Phoenix to flip that script: production that is fast, close and circular—without the burden of stock.
Stockless by Design.
The Spark
Before Phoenix, our team built and ran large-format 3D printers, tuned recycled polymer blends, and shipped real parts for real clients. We learned a simple truth: to fix speed, stock and sustainability, you must own the loop—design, materials and machines working as one system, close to the customer.
Our mission
Make European manufacturing faster, closer and circular—without the burden of stock.
What we do
- Production-first
We take you from DfAM to prototype and semi-series/series (10–500 pcs)—at meter-scale and without tooling. Typical path: first article ≤ 7 days, series in 2–4 weeks.
Quality: as-printed repeatability ~ ±0.5% (min ±0.5 mm); critical faces to ±0.10 mm where specified.
- Machine solutions (second-rank revenue)
Bring Phoenix capability in-house with:
PDL Transportable — a 20-ft “Production-in-a-Box” LFAM cell for on/near-site programs.
PDL Industrial — static, modular LFAM for factories and R&D labs.
Training, commissioning, and remote support included.
How we work
- Design-to-Approval — DfAM sprint → first article ≤ 7 days → series in 2–4 weeks.
- Stockless Replenishment — made-to-order production with fast refill (typical replenishment ≤ 10 days).
- Priority Capacity — reserved Dilsen slots for predictable lead times during peaks.
- Procurement Pack — datasheet + tolerances/finish, full traceability, CO₂ badge; audit-ready.
- Closed-Loop Credits — qualified returns convert to material credits on your next batch (better TCO, secured feedstock).
- Near-site via PDL — deploy PDL Transportable when distance and uptime matter.
What we make (and for whom)
- Office & Furniture — table bases, dividers, acoustic baffles, planters; co-branded collections with stockless replenishment.
- Retail & Brand Environments — campaign-speed builds and flagship installations; Priority Capacity around launches.
- Architecture — panels, formwork/moulds, ornamentation; pilot → modular catalog.
- Defense — tooling/jigs, housings, mission-specific parts; near-site readiness with PDL Transportable.
Why It’s Interesting to Work with Phoenix
- Launch without inventory: free up working capital; no dead stock.
- Speed with proof: first article in days, repeatable series in weeks.
- Industrial quality: meter-scale parts, specified finishes; critical faces to ±1.00 mm (where defined).
- Frictionless procurement: documentation and CO₂ badge included.
- Circular by default: recycled polymers with traceable batches; returns turn into credits.
- Closer when needed: Dilsen-first, near-site via PDL.
- One team, end-to-end: design, materials and machines aligned to your outcome.
Materials & sustainability
We run technical, recycled polymers (e.g., rPET, rPP, rPE; fiber-reinforced blends) compounded by certified partners. With Closed-Loop Credits, qualified returns feed the next batch—closing the loop while improving total cost.
Locations
- Production hub: Dilsen, Belgium (EU-first operations)
- Showroom & launch stage: Van Gendt Hallen, Amsterdam (live demos, partner launches, case unveilings)
- Near-site deployments: PDL Transportable for distributed or event-critical programs
