Espen Sivertsen of Ivaldi Group talks decentralised manufacturing, supply chain resilience & profit-first sustainability

Most companies didn’t build their supply chains for sustainability.They didn’t even build them for resilience.Espen Sivertsen, founder and CEO of Ivaldi Group, is changing that by turning complex, global logistics into local, on-demand manufacturing networks.Instead of shipping parts, Ivaldi sends files.Instead of waiting weeks for components, they’re produced on-site, often in hours.And in the process, they’re cutting downtime, costs, and carbon emissions all at once.But selling this kind of innovation into slow-moving, risk-averse industries isn’t easy - especially when no one gets paid to try new things.In this episode, we explore:Why most supply chains are allergic to innovationHow to scale a sustainability solution without complexity creepWhy climate guilt doesn’t sell - and what actually moves a CFOThe rise of file-based supply chains and digital inventoryHow to make sustainability make business sense - not just moral senseIvaldi is proving that the future of manufacturing isn’t big - it’s everywhere.Connect with Espen:LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/espensivertsenIvaldi: ⁠https://www.ivaldi.com⁠Connect with me:LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisg-jones/⁠Plucky Bamboo: ⁠https://pluckybamboo.com⁠
