Since our first inclusion, Cellfion has taken significant steps towards industrialisation and commercial scale. In 2026, the company secured approximately SEK 80 million in new financing, welcomed a Japanese industrial group as a strategic investor, and expanded our industrial capabilities through the acquisition of a production facility in Norrköping. Together, these milestones strengthen our ability to scale manufacturing, accelerate commercialisation and deliver our first volumes to the European market.

At the core of Cellfion is our combination of application knowledge and expertise in functionalised cellulose nanofibrils. By tailoring the functionality of the material to specific application requirements, we are developing advanced material solutions where performance, cost competitiveness and scalable manufacturing are critical.

This progress comes at a time when industries are actively looking for new material solutions. Changing legislation, increasing restrictions on existing materials and a growing focus on European and local supply chains are reshaping value chains and creating new opportunities for advanced material technologies.

Cellfion’s technology builds on more than 20 years of Swedish research at Linköping University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation and the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research.
