Pubblicato il 24-10-2026 - Fact Base in Milano
Behind every manufactured product is a drawing. Behind every drawing is knowledge.
Every machine, vehicle, medical device, and industrial product begins with engineering drawings and technical information. They are the foundation of manufacturing, yet many companies still struggle with disconnected systems, outdated files, and knowledge that isn't accessible when it's needed most.
At Fact Base, we're changing that.
Our cloud platform, ZUMEN , helps manufacturers centralize engineering drawings and technical information, making knowledge easier to find, share, and use across the factory floor.
Since our founding in 2022, Fact Base has become one of Japan's fastest-growing manufacturing software companies. In 2025, we became the first Japanese company to receive investment from Insight Partners , one of the world's leading B2B SaaS investors.
Today, we're bringing that success to manufacturers around the world, helping them modernize one of their most valuable assets: engineering knowledge.
Why Italy?
Italy is home to some of the world's most respected manufacturing companies, from precision machining and industrial equipment to automotive, packaging, and luxury goods.
These manufacturers are known for exceptional craftsmanship, but many still rely on fragmented engineering information and manual document management.
We believe they deserve better.
That's why we're launching Fact Base in Italy.
