Flow measurement systems (just like Air Data Systems) can measure the static and total pressure, velocity and angle of attack of a flow. Used across the wind energy, aviation, turbomachinery development and research industries, the manufacturing process of these systems should deliver parts robust enough to withstand the demanding environmental conditions of the industries in which they operate.
Aware of these requirements, Vectoflow, a German company that has made the production of flow measurement systems its core business, has secured €4 million in funding to expand into serial production.
Backed by new investors, including Bayern Kapital Innovationsfonds II, WN Invest GmbH, One Investment GmbH, argo vantage GmbH, Schwarz Holding GmbH, Dr. Rolf Pfeiffer, as well as existing seed investors AM Ventures and KfW Bankengruppe, the company raises our interest because at the heart of their production lies Additive Manufacturing.
The round will help the company focus its production on the aerospace and energy markets and extend its reach globally.
Christian Haigermoser, co-founder and co-CEO of Vectoflow, outlines the strategic areas of growth, stating, “we’re preparing for future expansion by strengthening our in-house capabilities. This includes ramping up additive manufacturing, improving part post-processing, optimizing instrumentation assembly, enhancing sensor calibration, and developing software solutions for test rig data acquisition and control. Our extensive know-how in flow instrumentation design, manufacturing, and calibration will play a crucial role in supporting business development across various markets.”
The successful closure of this investment round underscores the confidence in Vectoflow’s capabilities. The funds will be instrumental in driving practical innovation, expanding market presence, and solidifying Vectoflow’s position in the instrumentation sector, a press release states.
