Tenzing Alpha (Haarlem, Netherlands) announces it has invested in Arceon B.V. (Delft, Netherlands), an emerging company in advanced engineering materials, including composites, designed for extreme environments. Tenzing Alpha says this investment highlights its confidence in Arceon’s future potential in technological development. A follow-on investment is also being considered to support Arceon’s next phase of growth.
Arceon says its technical strength lies in creating advanced materials for extreme and harsh environments, such as aerospace and high-performance industries, including components for metal treatment, electric aviation and molten salt reactors. One example is Arceon’s Carbeon family of high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced/carbon and silicon carbide matrix (C/C-SiC) ceramic matrix composites (CMC). It is dedicated to designing technologies that address complex engineering challenges, aiming for future leadership in its sector.
With Tenzing Alpha’s assistance, the company will focus on expanding its commercial capabilities, market reach and operational efficiency to transform its technical success into a strong business presence.
