Company
We digitize manufacturing resources and offer them online in our marketplace. Customers looking for manufacturing partners in the past needed one thing above all: staying power. Prices often seemed arbitrary and the offer was not transparent, and requests were not responded to. Now, that’s over. HEDY Production is the first digital manufacturing marketplace that connects buyers and suppliers. Our matchmaking process – the HEDY Principle – was created to match request and offer. We match the right request with the right offer. It operates in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.

Vision
We are united by the vision of making local production accessible to everyone.
Our expertise comes from years of experience in production, process management and product development. We are a diverse team with different professional backgrounds. And despite all this, we have all had the same experiences: local production is unnecessarily difficult to access.
This passion for change makes Hedy possible and makes our product what it is: easy and worry-free to use.
With HEDY Production, we want to make a positive contribution to the fulfilment of the SDGs. We can contribute in the following areas with our business model and our mindset:
Where does the name "HEDY" come from?
Hedy Lamarr is world famous as an actress and sex symbol of the thirties. Until today, the inventor Hedy Lamarr is almost unknown. At the beginning of the 1940s, Hedy developed the frequency hopping method together with a friend, the composer George Antheil. In 1942, the inventors received a patent for their secret communication system. Lamarr’s and Antheil’s invention laid the foundation for all mobile communications technologies: Wireless data transmission is essential for WLAN, GPS and Bluetooth. The name Hedy Production stands in their honor, but also in honor of the countless other women who, despite their achievements, have been forgotten by the history of technology.
