Digital manufacturing platform for on-demand, sustainable lighting design
Gantri manufactures and sells lighting products made from proprietary plant-based polymers, produced on-demand in California via digital manufacturing. The company recently launched Gantri Made, a platform extending its manufacturing capabilities to external designers and brands. The hiring mix—60% manufacturing and design roles, with leadership across manufacturing, design, and product—reflects active investment in automation and production scaling; current projects target polymer production automation, design systems, and end-to-end factory automation, signaling a transition from made-to-order product sales toward a platform-as-service model.
Gantri is a San Francisco-based manufacturer and e-commerce seller of sustainable lighting products founded in 2016. The company designs and produces premium lighting using proprietary plant-derived polymers that are biodegradable and manufactured on-demand domestically using digital manufacturing techniques. In Spring 2025, Gantri launched Gantri Made, a B2B digital manufacturing platform that enables external designers and brands to access Gantri's manufacturing infrastructure and create lighting products without traditional manufacturing timelines and overhead. The company operates with 51–200 employees across manufacturing, design, marketing, and operations, headquartered in San Francisco.
Gantri's stack includes SolidWorks and Figma for design, Adobe Creative Cloud tools, Serverless Framework for backend infrastructure, Notion for operations, Slack for communication, and social/video platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, CapCut) for marketing and community.
Gantri manufactures on-demand lighting using proprietary plant-derived polymers and digital manufacturing processes in California. Current priorities include automating polymer-based production lines, developing new additive manufacturing processes, and eliminating production bottlenecks to increase efficiency and reduce costs.
