Taking products to market in a 21st-century world
Mon Feb 02 2026
In December 2024, Joe Zak acquired Fonda Flexible Manufacturing, a precision sheet-metal fabrication and component manufacturing company. Now leading both Fonda and Zentrypoint, he’s driving both businesses to stay at the cutting edge of design and manufacturing technology.
A key focus for Joe is sustainability. He’s positioning Fonda for B Corp certification, exploring opportunities in climate tech, and balancing startup support with long-standing partnerships for clients like Assa Abloy.
Joe is also modernizing Fonda’s operations with Autodesk Fusion 360 and generative AI tools to develop proprietary systems that boost efficiency. And unlike many consultancies that stop at design, Fonda goes further – helping startups with early-stage manufacturing to bring their ideas to life.
On this episode of The Art of the (Im)Possible, Joe shares his vision for the future of sustainable, tech-enabled manufacturing.
Shaping what comes next
Autodesk gives design and engineering teams the tools to innovate faster, work more sustainably, and go to market with confidence.
