News

The $13.5 million equity investment round also saw participation from returning and new investors, including Valo Ventures, Gatemore Venture Partners, Collab Fund, and Woori Venture Partners.

Boston Materials has announced $13.5 million in new funding. The investment was led by AccelR8 and Diamond Edge Ventures, the US-based corporate venturing arm of Mitsubishi Chemical Group, a leading global carbon fiber manufacturer. With this funding, Boston Materials is accelerating its expansion into the semiconductor market, building from its existing footprint in the aerospace market.

Founded in 2016, Boston Materials produces a new class of materials that are conductive and durable like metal, yet light as plastic. The underlying patented technology, Z-axis Fiber™, uses vertically aligned carbon fibers to create materials with enhanced energy transfer properties. Highly differentiated advanced materials, commercialized under the ZRT® tradename, solve critical challenges relating to thermal management and vehicle weight reduction across trillion-dollar industries– including Semiconductors, Aerospace, and Electrified Vehicles. Backed by scaled manufacturing technologies, facilities primed for high-volume production, and validation in performance-critical applications across high-growth sectors, industry leaders turn to Boston Materials to go beyond today's known limitations.

"Carbon fiber is a strategic product pillar for Mitsubishi Chemical Group. The BOSTON MATERIALS Z-axis Fiber technology is a fundamentally new approach to expand the importance and applications of carbon fiber into industries that are building the future," said Curtis Schickner, President of Diamond Edge Ventures.

"There is an urgent and quickly ramping need for advanced energy transfer materials. This new class of materials maximize performance and efficiency across data centers, airplanes, electrified vehicles, and beyond," said Anvesh Gurijala, CEO of Boston Materials. "BOSTON MATERIALS is aggressively expanding its existing manufacturing capabilities and accelerating global product deployment to meet this demand."

The $13.5 million equity investment round also saw participation from returning and new investors, including Valo Ventures, Gatemore Venture Partners, Collab Fund, and Woori Venture Partners.
