Booking contract manufacturing capacity for 2026 and 2027

The Physical AI Model for Manufacturing

Built, trained, and proven in our own American factories for contract manufacturing.

Matter builds and operates autonomous factories for complex, mission-critical hardware. By running our own production, we are training the physical AI model for manufacturing while expanding America’s industrial capacity.

Build With Matter

America is forgetting how to make things

Production was pushed far from demand in search of cheaper labor.
The result is brittle, slow, capital-intensive supply chains.

1990's

Cost arbitrage pulled production away from demand

2000s - 2010s

Scale and specialization
locked it in

Today

Rigid factories make reversal economically unviable

The shift

Manufacturing is moving closer to demand.

Geopolitics, logistics, and supply-chain risk are pulling manufacturing back toward where products are designed and used.

The failure mode

Factories were built for scale, not change

Traditional factories are optimized for stable, high-volume products. Changeovers are slow, manual and fragile.

The constraint

Labor cannot scale with demand.

Direct labor is scarce and expensive. Manufacturing expertise is disappearing across the industrial base.

What the modern world requires

Modern products move faster than factories

Products evolve quickly, Volumes fluctuate, Speed now matters as much as cost.

Which demands systems designed
for reconfiguration, not headcount.

Adaption without rebuilding

Matter turns manufacturing into a unified, software-defined system. Design, planning, setup and production flow through one singular platform.

[01]

Modular automation

Reusable, reconfigurable automation that enables rapid changeovers without rebuilding.

[02]

Physical AI Autonomy

Matter’s software orchestrates the factory, allowing it to adapt without human intervention.

[03]

Compounding intelligence

Every product run makes the system smarter over time.

Our Mission

[01]Unlock global abundance by accelerating global GDP per capita growth, starting with America

[02]

Our Goal

Build the world’s most efficient engine for converting raw materials into finished products

[03]

[PILOT]

Pilot production

Build and validate your product on Matter’s pilot production lines to prepare for scalable manufacturing

Pilot capabilities:

  • Prototype builds

  • Production process validation

  • NPI data access through MatterOS

  • Manufacturing readiness and golden line development

[SCALE]

Scale Production

Move faster by integrating manufacturing engineering, pilot manufacturing, and scaled production into a single platform.

Scale capabilities:

  • Modular automation systems

  • Multi-factory production scaling

  • Integrated production data and live telemetry via MatterOS
