Suffolk Technologies, an institutional VC platform affiliated with innovative builder Suffolk, announced an investment in Sublime Systems, an advanced technology company transforming cement production through a breakthrough electrochemical process that reduces emissions and waste.
This funding validates Suffolk Technologies’ commitment to investing in the foundational companies of the future and advancing their progress to build tomorrow, today. Along with Suffolk Technologies’ investment, Suffolk has pre-purchased capacity from Sublime’s forthcoming first commercial manufacturing plant in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
Cement is known as one of the most carbon-intensive materials in the world, responsible for roughly eight percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Sublime’s manufacturing process replaces the traditional combustion-driven kiln with a proprietary ambient-temperature electrochemical process to produce a superior cement that drastically reduces carbon emissions and has a path to achieving cost parity at scale with conventional Portland cement.
This partnership reflects Suffolk Technologies’ broader mission to accelerate the development and adoption of technologies that drive efficiency, sustainability, and transformation in the built environment.
Suffolk Technologies continues to play a leading role in identifying, investing in, and accelerating solutions that address the built environment’s toughest problems—from labor shortages to carbon reduction.
KEY QUOTES:
“Suffolk Technologies’ early investment and partnership are a powerful validation of Sublime’s technology and our mission. Bringing a new cement to market requires collaboration across the construction supply chain, and Suffolk is serving a critical role as a visionary general contractor to facilitate the widespread adoption of low-carbon Sublime Cement, enabling us to more quickly realize our shared commitment for a sustainable construction future.”
Sublime Systems CEO and Co-founder Dr Leah Ellis
“This is more than an investment—it’s a statement about the future of construction. Sublime’s mission is no less than fundamentally reshaping a cornerstone of the global built environment landscape, and we are proud to support them through our capital, our network, and our commitment to building a more sustainable world.”
