The start-up Spanflug Technologies GmbH has been on the market since 2018 and was spun off from the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management (iwb) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Now there is big news from Spanflug Technologies, which aims to automate the quotation and parts procurement process in the manufacturing industry: The start-up was able to win VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) as a partner and investor. Together, they want to drive the digitization of the manufacturing industry even faster.
