Foundation Alloy has secured $22 million in Series A funding to expand its solid-state metallurgy platform and increase production of advanced alloys in the United States. The investment will support a new manufacturing facility in Massachusetts, additional production capacity in New Hampshire, and international distribution into Asia.
CEO Jake Guglin summed up the company’s next phase with a simple message: the funding is intended to “fund the factory, not the lab.” The focus now shifts from proving the technology to producing advanced materials at commercial scale.
The funding round was led by Voyager Ventures, with participation from Trust Ventures, Yamaha Motor Ventures, America’s Frontier Fund, Overlap Holdings, Material Impact, Engine Ventures, El Cap, and Kanematsu Corporation.
Foundation Alloy plans to open a 36,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Massachusetts while adding another modular production cell through its partnership with Re:Build Manufacturing in southern New Hampshire. A new agreement with Kanematsu Corporation will distribute the company’s materials across Japan and Southeast Asia.
The expansion is expected to increase production from pilot-scale output today to tons of material per week by 2027, representing a hundredfold increase in manufacturing capacity.
Unlike conventional metallurgy, which relies on melting metals at extremely high temperatures, Foundation Alloy’s MetalsFIRST platform produces engineered alloys through a solid-state process. The company says this approach provides greater control over material properties while shortening production cycles and opening opportunities for alloy compositions that are difficult to achieve through traditional melt-based manufacturing.
Current products include the Molyclast family of molybdenum alloys used in hot forging, die casting, and other high-temperature applications. Development is now expanding into stainless steels, tool steels, and other specialty iron-based alloys, with customer pilot programs already underway.
The company said its materials are currently being evaluated by manufacturers across North America, Europe, and Japan. Hiring is underway across production, engineering, and commercial teams as Foundation Alloy prepares to expand manufacturing capacity over the coming year.
