ESA BIC Noordwijk alumnus Arceon develops special composites that can withstand extremely high temperatures and are much lighter than the currently used alternatives. The company, having recently closed its funding round with an investment from Tenzing Alpha, is looking forward to the further development of innovative materials for extreme environments.
Tenzing Alpha has invested in Arceon, an emerging leader in advanced engineering materials designed for extreme environments. The investment highlights Tenzing Alpha’s confidence in Arceon’s future potential as the team further develops groundbreaking technologies.
Material expertise
Arceon’s technical strength lies in its team’s expertise in creating advanced materials for extreme and harsh environments, such as aerospace and high-performance industries. The company is focused on the research, development and application of innovative materials that consist of ceramic matrix composites (CMC). Arceon’s structural material is based on reinforcements of carbon fibres and matrices of silicon carbide (C/C-SiC composites). Using its patented process, the engineers can seamlessly join the CMC components together at a late stage in the manufacturing process without any weakening of the final product.
Fuelling innovation
Following a previous investment in 2023 powered by UNIIQ, this new securement from Tenzing means the company is in a position to fuel future innovation and, as such, has now closed its funding round. With Tenzing Alpha’s assistance, Arceon will be able to focus on expanding its commercial capabilities, market reach and operational efficiency to transform its technical success into a strong business presence. Co-founder Rahul Shirke comments, “This latest milestone – securing funding with Tenzing Alpha – marks a new chapter of growth and innovation for us.”
