SPREAD is a Berlin-based Industrial AI company pioneering Engineering Intelligence for complex manufacturing industries. The company has built an AI-powered platform that connects fragmented engineering data across PLM, ALM, CAD, ERP, and MES systems to create unified "Product Twins." These living digital representations enable automotive OEMs, aerospace manufacturers, and defense contractors to trace requirements to field performance, diagnose root causes in minutes rather than weeks, and simulate system-level changes before implementation. Trusted by industry leaders including Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bosch, and Rheinmetall, SPREAD helps engineering teams bring products to market up to 2x faster, reduce costs by 25%, and achieve superior quality through AI-powered decision-making.
Founded in 2019 by Philipp Noll and Robert Göbel, SPREAD has rapidly grown to become one of Europe's fastest-growing AI companies, recognized with the SPARK AI Innovation Award from Handelsblatt & McKinsey (2024) and listed among LinkedIn's Top Startups DACH. The company's Engineering Intelligence Graph contextualizes product data into functional models that power specialized AI agents, enabling teams to accelerate development, reduce variant complexity, and secure production starts. With customers across automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial machinery, SPREAD is establishing itself as the modern backbone for engineering software-defined products in an era where complexity has surpassed human processing ability alone.
