Marketing Coordinator at Pelico
Pelico, a manufacturing orchestration platform founded in 2019, is scaling its operations as it addresses systemic inefficiencies in global industrial production. The Paris-headquartered firm has raised $72 million to date, reporting a 300% year-over-year revenue growth while deploying its AI-driven technology across 15 countries to support complex operations for clients including Airbus, Boeing, Safran, Eaton, and Cartier.
Bridging the Gap in Industrial Manufacturing
Traditional manufacturing systems were designed for predictability, a model that often fails in the face of modern, constant supply chain disruptions. When legacy tools cannot process real-time data, issues remain hidden until they snowball, forcing factory teams into reactive “firefighting” modes. Pelico’s platform serves to close this gap by integrating fragmented supply chain, production, and quality data into a single, live operational picture.
The company utilizes AI agents to anticipate these disruptions and simulate potential recovery options. By aligning teams before small problems escalate into expensive failures, the platform aims to provide a layer of stability for some of the world’s most complex industrial environments.
Pelico has rapidly expanded its footprint since its 2019 founding, now operating out of offices in Paris, Miami, London, and Amsterdam to support its global deployments.
The Path Forward for Industrial AI
As Pelico continues to scale, its trajectory suggests a broader shift in how industrial giants manage daily operations. Given its current 300% revenue growth and backing from investors like General Catalyst, 83North, and Serena, the company is likely to encounter opportunities to integrate its orchestration platform into even more diverse manufacturing sectors. A possible next step for the firm may involve further refinement of its AI agents to handle increasingly volatile global supply chain variables.
Samantha Carter notes that the reliance on legacy tools remains a significant hurdle for industrial leaders. By digitizing the “factory floor reality,” Pelico is positioning itself to capitalize on the industry’s need for predictive, rather than reactive, management tools—a move that effectively turns data silos into a competitive advantage.
