About Cerrion

At Cerrion, we're building the future of AI-enabled manufacturing. Headquartered in Zurich with more than $25M in funding from Creandum, Y Combinator, and top Silicon Valley investors, we're building the industrial AI platform to deploy AI Agents that can see what's happening on the production floor, automatically spot problems, and instantly intervene to keep lines running smoothly, at scale. Our technology is live in factories across 18+ countries, helping leading manufacturers in glass, beverage, food, CPG, building materials, and wood cut downtime by up to 50%.

While our hub is in Zurich, we operate as a fully US-registered company. After achieving strong product-market fit and seeing rapidly increasing global demand, we are now expanding our Go-to-Market organization in the United States.
