FREDERICK, Md., April 30, 2025-- InventWood, creator of revolutionary SUPERWOOD, today announced it has secured $15 million in the first close of its Series A funding round. This investment marks a significant milestone as the company prepares to begin shipments from its first commercial manufacturing facility in Frederick, Maryland, in the third quarter of 2025.
2025年4月30日,马里兰州弗雷德里克市——革命性超级木材(SUPERWOOD)的创造者InventWood公司今日宣布,已完成其A轮融资的首次交割,金额达1500万美元。这项投资标志着公司的一个重要里程碑,因为该公司正准备在2025年第三季度开始从其位于马里兰州弗雷德里克的第一个商业制造工厂发货。
InventWood has now successfully secured more than $50 million in total capital, which supported the construction of its first production facility and positions the company to scale rapidly ..
InventWood现已成功筹集了超过5000万美元的总资本,这笔资金支持了其首个生产设施的建设,并使公司能够迅速扩大规模。
SUPERWOOD represents a fundamental breakthrough in materials science, transforming ordinary wood at the molecular level to create an extraordinary building material that is stronger than steel. SUPERWOOD outperforms traditional construction materials while preserving all of wood's beloved natural qualities.
SUPERWOOD代表了材料科学领域的根本性突破,它在分子层面改造普通木材,从而创造出一种比钢铁更强的非凡建筑材料。SUPERWOOD在性能上超越了传统建筑材料,同时保留了木材所有备受喜爱的自然特性。
The material maintains wood's warmth, texture, workability, and natural aesthetic while being engineered to withstand extreme weather, high humidity, fire, rot, and pests. SUPERWOOD will enable entirely new approaches to construction as architects and builders seek economic and climate-resilient solutions with dramatically reduced environmental impact..
这种材料保持了木材的温暖、质感、可加工性和自然美感,同时经过工程设计,能够抵御极端天气、高湿度、火灾、腐烂和虫害。超级木材将使建筑方法实现全新的突破,建筑师和建筑商正在寻求经济且气候适应性强、环境影响显著降低的解决方案。
'SUPERWOOD demonstrates what's possible when we combine nature's most highly evolved structure with revolutionary science,' said Alex Lau, CEO of InventWood. 'This funding enables us to scale production of a material that will fundamentally change how we build, creating structures that are stronger and lighter than steel while retaining all the biogenic qualities people have treasured in wood for millennia.'.
“SUPERWOOD展示了当我们把自然界进化程度最高的结构与革命性的科学结合在一起时,什么是可能的,”InventWood首席执行官Alex Lau表示,“这笔资金使我们能够扩大生产一种将从根本上改变我们建造方式的材料,创造出比钢铁更强、更轻的结构,同时保留了人们数千年来珍视的木材所有生物特性。”
“InventWood has achieved an extraordinary breakthrough that exalts the genius of the natural world,' said Paul Hawken, environmentalist, author, and investor. 'By transforming rather than replacing wood, SUPERWOOD has created an astonishing material that will be the future of the built environment worldwide.”.
“‘InventWood 实现了一项非凡的突破,彰显了自然界的天才之处,’环保主义者、作家兼投资人保罗·霍肯表示。‘通过改造而不是替换木材,SUPERWOOD 创造出了一种令人惊叹的材料,这将成为全球建筑环境的未来。’”
The funding milestone follows InventWood's groundbreaking research that began in 2018, when founder Dr. Liangbing Hu developed the patented process that removes specific components of wood's cellular structure and compresses it, creating a material up to 12 times stronger and 10 times tougher than the wood it came from.
这项资金里程碑是继 InventWood 于 2018 年开始的突破性研究之后取得的,当时创始人胡良兵博士开发了一种获得专利的工艺,该工艺去除木材细胞结构中的特定成分并对其进行压缩,从而创造出一种比其来源木材强 12 倍且韧度高 10 倍的材料。
Dr. Hu brought insights and tools from his work in carbon nanotubes the world of wood, with his research leading to a material with strength-to-weight ratio almost 10x that of steel while maintaining the tactile quality, grain patterns, and natural character that make wood irreplaceable in our built environment..
胡博士将他在碳纳米管领域的工作中的见解和工具带入了木材世界,他的研究导致了一种材料的诞生,这种材料的强度重量比几乎是钢的10倍,同时保留了木材在我们建筑环境中不可替代的触感、纹理图案和自然特性。
In an era where America’s reliance on imports of steel, aluminum and other materials is of national concern, InventWood's Frederick manufacturing facility will utilize a domestically focused supply chain, sourcing wood from responsibly managed American forests and processing it entirely within the United States.
在一个美国对钢铁、铝和其他材料的进口依赖成为国家关切问题的时代,InventWood位于弗雷德里克的制造工厂将利用一条专注国内的供应链,从负责任管理的美国森林获取木材,并完全在美国境内进行加工。
This approach ensures quality control while supporting American jobs and reducing transportation and supply chain risks..
这种方法确保了质量控制,同时支持了美国的就业,并减少了运输和供应链风险。
'We're prioritizing domestic sourcing and production to maintain the exacting standards SUPERWOOD requires,' continued Lau. 'With commercial shipments beginning in Q3 of this year, we’re focused on ensuring every step of our process, from forest to final product, delivers uncompromising quality while supporting American manufacturing.'.
“我们正在优先考虑国内采购和生产,以维持SUPERWOOD所需的确切标准,”刘继续说道。“随着商业运输在第三季度开始,今年我们专注于确保从森林到最终产品的每一步都能提供毫不妥协的质量,同时支持美国制造业。”
The company recently formed a strategic partnership with Intectural, a leading distributor of high-performance architectural materials, positioning SUPERWOOD for rapid adoption across North America. Initial shipments will focus on commercial and residential applications requiring superior strength and climate resilience..
公司近期与高性能建筑材分销商英特克公司达成战略合作伙伴关系,这将促使超级木材快速推向北美市场。最初的运输将聚焦于需要超强强度和气候适应力的商业和住宅应用。
The firm’s development and the launch of its first facility have been supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Defense, Grantham, Builders Vision, the JLL Foundation, and Baruch Future Ventures, showcasing strong investor confidence in InventWood's transformative technology and commercial potential.
该公司的开发及其首家工厂的启动得到了美国能源部、美国国防部、格兰瑟姆、Builders Vision、JLL基金会和Baruch Future Ventures的支持,显示出投资者对InventWood的革命性技术及其商业潜力充满信心。
