STILRIDE hires Ricardo Sá Freire as a design manager
Ricardo Sá Freire is STILRIDE’s new design manager to develop the design concept for external parties. The background for this recruitment is based on STILRIDE’s unique manufacturing process STILFOLD where sheet metal is folded into different shapes in a process that easiest can be compared to industrial origami.
Ricardo Sá Freire has a long background in industrial design and most recently came from a role as Senior Design Specialist at Husqvarna Group. In his new role at STILRIDE, he will focus on developing design concepts for large manufacturers in several different industries.
- We see a steadily increasing interest in our unique manufacturing process STILFOLD. We receive more and more inquiries from external companies who want to explore what’s possible with STILFOLD and if they can improve their own business with the help of our technology. Ricardo has a perfect profile to be able to help these external stakeholders to understand STILFOLD and its benefits, says Jonas Nyvang, co-founder and CEO at STILRIDE.
The unique manufacturing process can most easily be described as industrial origami where sheet steel is bent to the desired shape. The result is a material-efficient and durable construction compared to traditional solutions and creates a natural development towards more durable steel structures.
- It feels great to pioneer green manufacturing with STILFOLD. It is not only a promising production technology, but it is also a necessity from an environmental sustainability perspective, says Ricardo Sá Freire
Ricardo will start his position as Design Manager on the 10th of May.
