Vectoflow closes financing round

The Munich-based startup Vectoflow has secured fresh capital from its existing investors. With the funding, the company plans to expand series production of its 3D-printed flow probes and prepare for entry into regulated aerospace markets.

Vectorflow has completed a new financing round of an undisclosed amount. All existing investors have confirmed their support. Investors include Bayern Kapital, WN Invest, and seed investor AM Ventures.

Expansion of production and preparation for certifications

Vectoflow develops and produces flow measurement solutions using additive manufacturing. The sensors and associated data processing systems are used in aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles, motorsports, and other demanding industries. With the new capital, the company plans to expand series production of its flow sensors and prepare for entry into safety-critical markets such as manned aviation.

A key component of the expansion plans is certification according to EN 9100 and EASA Part 21. These standards are considered a prerequisite for the approval of aerospace products in strictly regulated segments. Dr. Christian Haigermoser, CEO of Vectoflow, comments:

"Certifications according to EN 9100 and Part 21 are the key to new, demanding markets. In combination with our additive manufacturing approach They give us a clear competitive advantage.”

In addition to aviation, Vectoflow also aims to enter new markets such as wind energy. Its probes and data processing systems are already used in aerospace, motorsports, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other industries.

Investors reaffirm confidence in strategy

The renewed investment by investors demonstrates their confidence in the startup's technological foundation and market strategy. Walter Nemetz from WN Invest, confirms:

"Vectoflow's market momentum and strong technological foundation have convinced us to continue our support. Vectoflow is excellently positioned for applications that require the highest standards of flexibility, reliability, and quality and are manufactured entirely in Europe."

Monika Steger, Managing Director of Bayern Kapital, points out the strategic importance of European manufacturing:

"Reliable European suppliers are becoming strategically important in safety-critical markets, especially when it comes to supply chain security and technological independence. With development, production, and calibration in Gilching, Vectoflow is ideally positioned to meet these requirements."

At the beginning of the year, Vectoflow strengthened its management team: Stefanie Hach joined as Chief Commercial Officer to drive sales expansion and market positioning.
