The Series A funding, spearheaded by Helios Climate Ventures and supported by global corporation QEMETICA, formerly Ciech, marks a pivotal moment for Maxterial. This capital infusion not only solidifies its position as a leader in climate-conscious innovation but also empowers the company to accelerate its research and development initiatives, expand its product offerings, and scale operations across key markets in North America and Europe.
