Atomik AM Secures £600k Investment to Drive Sustainable Manufacturing

Female-founded Atomik AM, an innovative advanced manufacturing company based in Liverpool, has successfully secured a £600,000 investment from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II, managed by Praetura Ventures. Founded in 2022 by Professor Kate Black, the company has rapidly grown to support large multinationals such as Unilever and Ricoh by developing sustainable materials and patented technologies aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency. The investment will allow Atomik AM to expand its team by 40%, explore larger premises, and further scale its innovative projects like the Universal Binder for 3D metal printing. Atomik AM is actively patenting new manufacturing solutions, including processes that convert aluminium waste into durable products while recycling the residual waste into energy. The company, known for its contributions in inks for 2D sensor printing and specialist pastes for electronic coatings, has demonstrated potential as a leader in reducing manufacturing pollution, a significant contributor to the UK's overall greenhouse gas emissions. With previous funding from LYVA Labs and guidance from advisors like TLT LLP and Harper James, Atomik AM is well-positioned to lead a transformation in sustainable manufacturing, aligning its growth trajectory with global objectives for reducing carbon footprints.
