The Axiforge Group

Four operating companies. One founding engineer.

Matthew Plodzien — Founder & CEO, Axiforge Holdings

FOUNDER & CEO

Matthew Plodzien

Engineer · Builder · CEO

Matthew Plodzien's career began on the shop floor — in production and design roles across construction, installation, and industrial machinery. That foundation gave him something most founders lack: a precise understanding of how large-scale technical projects actually fail, and how to prevent it.

He progressed to leading multi-million dollar project portfolios, managing cross-functional engineering teams across manufacturing automation, production line integration, and heavy industry. He brings that same operational discipline to Axiforge — where execution is the product.

His track record includes full-cycle product certification and market entry — navigating CE and EAC conformity processes from technical documentation and risk assessment through to declaration of conformity and market release. Products built under his leadership have been certified and commercially deployed across European and CIS markets.
