May 28, 2025
Sun Metalon Inc, headquartered in Wood Dale, Illinois, USA, with operations in Japan, has announced it has received $9.1 million in investment following the successful closing of its second Series A funding round. This follows the first closing announced last year, bringing the total Series A funding capital to $39.8 million, including loan facilities.
Investors in the round include Nippon Steel Corporation, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), Airbus Ventures, and the Shimadzu Future Innovation Fund (managed by Global Brain Corporation).
newly raised capital is expected to aid the company’s expansion in both locations. This will support Sun Metalon in accelerating the decarbonisation of the metal industry and advancing industry recycling.
“Our patented heating technology tackles both environmental and economic challenges by drastically reducing CO₂ emissions and enabling efficient metal recycling, while recovering valuable metal resources and reducing operational costs,” stated Kazuhiko Nishioka, CEO of Sun Metalon.
“We are deeply grateful to everyone who believed in Sun Metalon’s vision and supported us in this funding round. This investment enables us to continue evolving our technology and delivering impactful solutions to a broader audience. I am especially honoured to work alongside strategic partners such as Nippon Steel Corporation, from whom I have gained invaluable experience and support over the years, as we build the future together,” Nishioka concluded.
