Nanoramic has secured $54 million in Series 1 equity financing, marking a significant step toward scaling the global commercialization of its Neocarbonix battery platform. The round includes a new investment from PEP Capital along with continued participation from Samsung Ventures and Top Material. Earlier commitments from General Motors Ventures and Catalus Capital, which co-led the round, were also included alongside prior investments from ITOCHU Corporation, Fortistar Capital, and WindSail Capital Group.
The expanding investor syndicate reflects strong confidence in Nanoramic’s technology and its potential to advance battery performance across a wide range of applications. The company has been pursuing an asset-light commercialization strategy, supported by collaborations with Samsung SDI, General Motors, and other industry partners. In 2025, Nanoramic completed qualification programs with public and private sector organizations across multiple chemistries and product uses, enabling standardized Neocarbonix products to reach manufacturing partners worldwide.
Nanoramic said its technology is positioned to meet growing demand at the gigawatt-hour scale. The company is preparing to shift commercial shipments to global manufacturing sites beginning in 2026 as customer interest accelerates. Neocarbonix is designed as a drop-in solution that can be adopted by existing battery manufacturing lines without retooling, enabling rapid scalability. The platform is PFAS-free and eliminates the use of NMP solvents, offering environmental and worker safety benefits while enabling improvements in battery cost structure, energy density, power output, and fast-charging performance.
The company expects mass production of Neocarbonix-enabled batteries across major lithium-ion applications by 2027, supported by commercial, manufacturing, and distribution expertise from its strategic partners. Nanoramic said its technology is already qualified and available through multiple production partners, reinforcing its readiness for large-scale global deployment.
