“Philip’s proven track record in delivering results and creating value at large, global organizations will be instrumental as VulcanForms scales its digital production infrastructure and as the company’s customer base and revenue continue to grow rapidly,” said Martin C. Feldmann, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of VulcanForms. “Philip’s background and expertise are an ideal fit to support our business objectives and deliver massive returns for our shareholders.”

”In my 27 years of experience as a CFO of multiple companies, the one area that I have enjoyed the most is advanced manufacturing. With the renewed American focus on reshoring of manufacturing, it was very clear to me on where I wanted to focus next and that is the reason why I decided to join VulcanForms,” said Philip. ”With the best technology stack and a fully integrated manufacturing approach, VulcanForms completely derisks the end-users, eliminates friction and offers a scalable long-term solution for its customers. It’s an exciting time to reshape American manufacturing and I see VulcanForms leading the way.”
