Move over China, the future of manufacturing is alive in a five-person shop in Wellington, New Zealand.  Think cheap, quick, green, and global. And everything’s made to order.

That’s the headline on the latest issue of Inc. Magazine, with Ponoko’s David ten Have on the cover.

This is a scene in every angel’s dream, where their investment’s CEO literally becomes a poster boy.  David and the team totally deserve it too, as they’ve worked both hard and smart to make a market and change the game of manufacturing.

Good onya guys, New Zealand’s angel investors and entrepreneurs are right behind you, and would love to see your innovation and success replicated a thousand times over.
