Vectoflow has closed a new financing round of undisclosed amount. All existing investors have confirmed their continued support. Investors include Bayern Kapital, WN Invest, and seed investor AM Ventures.
Expanding production and preparing for certifications
Vectoflow develops and manufactures flow measurement solutions using additive manufacturing. The probes and their associated data processing systems are used in aerospace, unmanned aircraft, motorsport, and other demanding industries. With the new capital, the company aims to expand series production of its flow probes and prepare for entry into safety-critical markets such as manned aviation.
A central part of the expansion plans is certification according to EN 9100 and EASA Part 21. These standards are prerequisites for the approval of aerospace products in strictly regulated segments. Dr. Christian Haigermoser, CEO of Vectoflow, comments:
“Certifications under EN 9100 and Part 21 are the key to new, demanding markets. Combined with our additive manufacturing approach, they give us a clear competitive advantage.”
Beyond aviation, Vectoflow is also targeting entry into new markets such as wind energy. Today, the probes and data processing systems are already in use in aerospace, motorsport, unmanned aircraft, and various other industries.
Investors reaffirm confidence in strategy
The renewed participation of the investors demonstrates confidence in the startup’s technological foundation and market strategy. Walter Nemetz from WN Invest, reaffirms:
“The market dynamics and strong technological foundation of Vectoflow convinced us to continue our support. For applications requiring the highest standards of flexibility, reliability, and quality while being produced entirely in Europe, Vectoflow is excellently positioned.”
Monika Steger, managing director of Bayern Kapital, points to 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 the expansion of sales and market positioning.
