About the episode

Sergio Carbonell welcomes Manuel Blasco, founder of MB3D, one of the suppliers of 3D lettering for professionals in Spain. Manuel reviews how he went from selling signs to the end customer to manufacturing for the sector, with 36 cataloged letter models, custom projects, and structures that arrive ready to be mounted on the facade.

The conversation goes straight into what concerns those who outsource the most: quotes in 24 hours, deadlines, quality control, and transport that doesn't leave the installer waiting with the crane. The episode ends in the studio, with MB3D's new products for window dressing.
