This investment will enable us to scale our patented electroform™ technology, a sustainable, acid-free polishing process designed to improve the performance and durability of metal parts. From aerospace to automotive and nuclear fusion, our customers are increasingly turning to electroform™ to achieve smoother surfaces, eliminate bottlenecks and unlock new levels of efficiency in production.
The funding will also support the expansion of our Huddersfield facility and accelerate the production of our electroform™ machines, helping us meet growing global demand.
"The industries we serve are evolving fast. Manufacturers want stronger, more efficient, more reliable parts produced at scale and with increasingly complex designs. electroform™ helps make that possible, and this investment means we can deliver those gains to even more customers worldwide."
Since launching in 2023, Holdson has grown to a team of 18 with customers across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia. This milestone marks the next step in our mission to deliver world-leading post-processing solutions while staying true to our roots in Yorkshire innovation.
“The advanced manufacturing space is critical to a number of key industries, including the automotive, aerospace and defence sectors, where vital parts and components are growing more complex with each passing year. Holdson is an example of a thriving Northern company that’s making these innovations possible. The company has the talent and the technology to continue scaling globally, and we’re pleased to be backing the team on their journey with NPIF II funding to supercharge their growth.”
This investment represents an exciting milestone for Holdson, and we’re incredibly grateful to our investors for their belief in our vision. With their support, we’re looking forward to accelerating innovation, expanding our global reach, and continuing to deliver technologies that push the boundaries of what’s possible in advanced manufacturing.
