Norsk Titanium, a Norway-based titanium components manufacturer backed by SUNY Polytechnic University, has floated its shares on Euronext Growth Oslo, following a $38m private placement.
Unnamed leading shareholders of Norsk Titanium provided $15m through the private placement while family-owned investment firm Ferd supplied $10m.
Founded in 2007, Norsk Titanium produces titanium components for the aerospace sector through an additive manufacturing process called rapid plasma deposition.
The proceeds will be used to expand the application of Norsk Titanium’s technology to new markets including the defence and industrial sectors. The capital injection will also support the company’s development activities.
Norsk Titanium secured an undisclosed amount of funding from semiconductor technology provider Applied Materials’ corporate venturing subsidiary, Applied Ventures, in September 2016.
The company had received $4m from SUNY Polytechnic University and the State of New York in July 2016, following a $15m round led by investment bank Piper Jaffray the month before that included $10m investment from Insight Equity Holdings.
That round was also supported by a $10m growth debt facility from Harbert European Growth Capital Fund.
Norsk Titanium Cayman has the largest shareholding in the business with a 36.6% stake, followed by NTI Holding, which represents technology holding group Scatec Innovation (28.7%) and investment banking firm Goldman Sachs (20%).
Carnegie and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken served as joint global coordinators and underwriters for the private placement and listing.
