Mstack Chemicals secures $40M to disrupt global speciality chemical manufacturing across more countriesCross-border speciality chemical manufacturing platform, Mstack, plans global expansion in Middle East, LATAM and AsiaHOUSTON, Texas, October 3, 2024-- The pandemic revealed two critical truths about manufacturing: supply chains are now global, and chemical suppliers are indispensable in supply chains across industries.

2024年10月3日，Mstack Chemicals获得4000万美元资金，用于破坏更多国家的全球特种化学品制造跨国界特种化学品制造平台Mstack计划在中东、拉坦和德克萨斯州亚希霍斯顿进行全球扩张。这场流行病揭示了制造业的两个关键事实：供应链现在是全球性的，化学品供应商在跨行业的供应链中不可或缺。

With Europe’s chemical heavyweights operating at persistent losses and inflated costs, and the China+1 movement encouraging more businesses to expand into new markets, the shift towards diversifying chemical sources is accelerating. Capturing this moment, Mstack, a US-based custom manufacturing platform that helps global buyers source high-quality specialty chemicals, has raised $40M to double down on its mission to disrupt a historically flawed supply chain for specialty chemicals.

随着欧洲化工重量级企业持续亏损和成本膨胀，以及中国+1运动鼓励更多企业拓展新市场，化工原料多元化的转变正在加速。抓住这一刻，总部位于美国的定制制造平台Mstack（一家帮助全球买家采购高质量特种化学品的平台）筹集了4000万美元，将其使命加倍，以打破传统上有缺陷的特种化学品供应链。

The company’s $40M Series A round was co-led by Lightspeed and Alpha Wave and included a debt facility from HSBC Innovation Banking as well as an all star lineup of angel investors. MStack will deploy the freshly infused capital to expand its footprint across the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, while continuing to strengthen its presence in the United States and other geographies..

该公司4000万美元的A轮融资由Lightspeed和Alpha Wave共同牵头，其中包括汇丰创新银行（HSBC Innovation Banking）的债务融资以及天使投资者的全明星阵容。MStack将部署新注入的资金，以扩大其在中东、拉丁美洲和亚洲的足迹，同时继续加强其在美国和其他地区的影响力。。

Bejul Somaia, Partner at Lightspeed, added: “Geopolitical dynamics pose risks for supply chain disruptions in the global specialty chemicals market. With demand for these chemicals growing rapidly, there is a need to increase R&D investments and unlock new pockets of supply. As the first institutional investor in Mstack, we believe that the company has tremendous potential to lead this transformation.

Lightspeed的合作伙伴Bejul Somaia补充道：“地缘政治动态给全球特种化学品市场的供应链中断带来了风险。随着对这些化学品的需求迅速增长，有必要增加研发投资并打开新的供应口袋。作为Mstack的第一家机构投资者，我们相信该公司具有领导这一转型的巨大潜力。

The new round of funding will enable them to unlock the full potential of their tech-driven platform and undertake cutting-edge research, offering high quality products to customers across the world.”.

新一轮资金将使他们能够充分发挥其技术驱动平台的潜力，并进行尖端研究，为世界各地的客户提供高质量的产品。”。

Mstack was founded in 2022 by Shreyans Chopra, whose decision to launch a cross-border brand in specialty chemicals was inspired by the rapid growth in the global specialty chemicals market. Through its well-established network of approved specialty chemical capacities in low cost, high quality regions – like India, the Middle East, and Asia – Mstack offers mid-to-large scale enterprises a full-stack solution for sourcing specialty chemicals through a reliable supply chain that is secure against geopolitical disruptions.

Mstack由什里扬斯·乔普拉（Shreyans Chopra）于2022年创立，其决定在特种化学品领域推出一个跨境品牌，这是受全球特种化学品市场快速增长的启发。通过在印度、中东和亚洲等低成本、高质量地区建立的经批准的特种化学品产能网络，Mstack为中大型企业提供了一套完整的解决方案，可通过可靠的供应链采购特种化学品，以防止地缘政治干扰。

This allows the company to serve price-sensitive buyers across the world with preferential pricing, while maintaining a strong commitment to quality, reliability, and consistency. .

这使得该公司能够以优惠的价格为世界各地对价格敏感的买家提供服务，同时保持对质量、可靠性和一致性的坚定承诺。

Notably, the company has codified its entire operation into a single platform, allowing buyers to source, test, ship, deliver, and track all of their specialty chemicals in one place. This meticulous control ensures Mstack is able to consistently meet its value proposition of reliable and timely delivery.

值得注意的是，该公司已将其整个运营编入一个单一平台，允许买家在一个地方采购、测试、装运、交付和跟踪其所有特种化学品。这种细致的控制确保了Mstack能够始终如一地满足其可靠及时交付的价值主张。

The company currently offers products in four categories: oil and gas, coatings, water treatment, and home and personal care. With this round of funding, Mstack is making inroads into agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, among other segments. .

该公司目前提供四类产品：石油和天然气、涂料、水处理、家居和个人护理。有了这轮资金，Mstack正在进军农药和制药等领域。

Having already established a firm footing in the chemicals industry cross-border supply chain, the company is now intensifying its focus on expanding its talent base in the US, building a robust leadership team across categories, and doubling down on research and development (R&D).

该公司已经在化工行业跨境供应链中奠定了坚实的基础，现在正加紧扩大其在美国的人才基础，建立一支强大的跨类别领导团队，并加倍致力于研发（R＆D）。

Shreyans Chopra, Founder at Mstack, commented: “This new funding affirms investor confidence in our vision and technology to transform global markets. It enables us to expand geographically and intensify our R&D efforts. We'll continue innovating to meet our customers' evolving needs. Our R&D team in India is poised to commercialize multiple chemicals soon.

Mstack创始人什里扬斯·乔普拉（Shreyans Chopra）评论道：“这项新资金肯定了投资者对我们改变全球市场的愿景和技术的信心。它使我们能够在地理上扩大并加强研发工作。我们将继续创新，以满足客户不断变化的需求。我们在印度的研发团队准备很快将多种化学品商业化。

Future plans include establishing advanced labs to drive innovation and IP creation, while offering custom formulations and process innovation through our on-demand platform.”.

未来的计划包括建立先进的实验室来推动创新和知识产权创造，同时通过我们的按需平台提供定制配方和工艺创新。”。

Navroz D. Udwadia, Co-Founder and Partner at Alpha Wave Global, said: “We are very excited to partner with Mstack as they play an important role in shaping the global chemical supply chain. This round enables Mstack to strengthen its R&D capabilities in co-creating new products with their vendors. We look forward to working with the team in delivering effective, cost efficient solutions to the customers, driving incremental ROI for them.”.

Alpha Wave Global联合创始人兼合伙人Navroz D.Udwadia表示：“我们非常高兴能与Mstack合作，因为他们在塑造全球化学品供应链方面发挥着重要作用。这一轮谈判使Mstack能够加强其研发能力，与供应商共同创造新产品。我们期待着与团队合作，为客户提供有效、经济高效的解决方案，为他们提高投资回报率。”。

For Mstack, the future looks bright. With its tech-driven approach, research labs, expansion plans, and fresh funding in its war chest, Mstack is on track to rewrite the rules of global specialty chemical manufacturing.

对于Mstack来说，未来看起来很光明。凭借其技术驱动的方法、研究实验室、扩张计划以及战争基金中的新资金，Mstack正在改写全球特种化学品制造的规则。
