Vectoflow raises a new round of financing
The company aims to scale series production of its 3D printed flow probes and prepare for entry into safety-critical aerospace markets
Vectoflow, a company developing fluid-dynamic metrology devices, has raised a new round of financing, with all existing investors – including Bayern Kapital, WN Invest, and seed investor AM Ventures – once again contributing capital to support the company’s expansion plans. With the new funding, the Munich-based company aims to scale series production of its 3D printed flow probes and prepare for entry into safety-critical aerospace markets. A key focus will be achieving EN 9100 and EASA Part 21 certifications – both essential to supplying highly regulated aviation segments.
The new funding enables Vectoflow to extend its manufacturing capabilities and expand into additional markets such as wind energy, as well as further regulated areas of aviation, including passenger aircraft. A crucial step in this process will be obtaining Part 21 certification – the EASA standard governing the approval and production of aerospace products. Ahead of this, the company will also implement EN 9100, ensuring full compliance with the highest quality standards in the industry. In combination, these certifications will open the door to manned aviation and safety-critical applications.
The renewed commitment of Vectoflow’s investors highlights their confidence in the company’s strategy and market potential. Demand for its current solutions remains strong, with growing interest from safety-critical sectors – including European defense and aerospace programs that rely on accurate in-flight measurement of speed, temperature, and pressure.
Vectoflow has also strengthened its leadership team: earlier this year, Stefanie Hach joined as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to drive the expansion of sales and market positioning.
“The market momentum and Vectoflow’s strong technological foundation convinced us to continue our support,” said Walter Nemetz of WN Invest. “For applications requiring the highest standards of flexibility, reliability, and quality with fully European production, Vectoflow is in an excellent position.”
“Reliable European suppliers are becoming strategically vital in safety-critical markets, especially when it comes to supply-chain security and technological independence. With development, production, and calibration all located in Gilching, Vectoflow is well placed to meet these needs,” said Monika Steger, Managing Director of Bayern Kapital.
“We are confident that the team led by Christian Haigermoser and Stefanie Hach will capture the growing demand from European customers and establish Vectoflow as a leading series supplier of flow measurement solutions,” said Johann Oberhofer of AM Ventures.
