Building Inclusive Advanced Manufacturing Technology

At AutoShape, we develop, build, and deploy advanced integrated sheet metal forming machines powered by diverse teams and inclusive thinking. 

Our Approach to Diversity & Inclusion

Sorry, I can't see the image.

At AutoShape, diversity, equity and inclusion are part of how we build and grow not separate initiatives.

We bring together people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute, develop, and be heard. We believe that fairness, respect, and openness are essential to building strong teams and long-term success.

There is no single “AutoShape profile”. What unites us is a shared ambition to solve complex industrial challenges and create meaningful impact.

How we Turn Inclusion into Impact

We translate diversity and inclusion into real impact through three key areas that shape how we work, innovate, and grow. 


Innovation

We combine expertise across engineering, software, and industrial operations to solve complex challenges and build robust solutions for manufacturing sheet metal parts. 

Diverse perspectives help us to question assumptions, improve decision-making, and accelerate innovation. 

👉 Impact: Faster innovation cycles · Stronger, smarter products 

  • We enable more efficient and responsible manufacturing by improving production processes, reducing material waste, and supporting adaptable industrial systems. 

    Diverse perspectives help us navigate both technological and human transitions, supporting different career paths, experiences, and ways of working. 

    👉 Impact: More sustainable production · More adaptable and resilient teams 

  • We create a work environment where individuals feel respected, valued, and able to contribute fully. 

    Inclusive teams enable open dialogue, constructive challenge, and effective collaboration across disciplines and perspectives. 

    👉 Impact: Better collaboration · Stronger decisions · Higher-performing teams 

We translate our approach into concrete practices across how we hire, collaborate, and support our team. 
These actions ensure that diversity and inclusion are embedded in our daily operations. 

What this Means in Practice

  • Equal opportunities across roles and responsibilities  

  • Fair and objective evaluation processes  

  • Balanced representation as we grow  

  • Flexible and responsible ways of working  

  • Consideration of individual needs   

  • Respect, trust, and open communication   

  • Skills- and potential-based recruitment   

  • Transparent and consistent evaluation    

  • Encouraging diverse and underrepresented profiles     

  • Knowledge sharing across experience levels  

  • Mentoring and continuous learning    

  • Cross-disciplinary collaboration   

Our Talents Across Europe

AutoShape is shaped by a dynamic and evolving team. 

Alongside our core team, interns and contributors from across Europe have helped shape how we work, collaborate, and build. Their perspectives have strengthened our approach across engineering, software, product, and business. 

This ongoing diversity of experiences and backgrounds helps us develop technology that is adaptable, collaborative, and relevant to industrial needs. 

How we Stay Accountable

As AutoShape grows, we take a structured and transparent approach to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

We monitor key indicators such as team composition and hiring practices, ensuring our growth remains aligned with our principles.

Our leadership is responsible for maintaining fair, objective, and inclusive processes across recruitment and team development.

Our DEI approach is continuously refined alongside our technology and organization.

“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are embedded in how we develop, build, and deliver our machines, shaping both our technology and its real-world impact.”
