## About

History: Based in California, US, and founded in 2021 by Alex Thiele, Andrew Gillies, and Eric Law, Urban Machine operates as a construction company involved in the wood reclamation business that uses technology to produce recycled wood for reuse in various industries. In December 2022, Urban Machine raised USD 5.6 million in seed funding led by investor Lowercarbon Capital with participation from another investor GV.

Urban Machine utilizes robotics and AI to reclaim lumber from construction and demolition (C&D) waste. The solution removes metal fasteners from used lumber, making it suitable for reuse in premium wood products. Urban Machine serves C&D facilities, demolition contractors, developers, and architects, offering solutions to reduce wood waste and harvest quality lumber.
