"This is not just financial backing — it's a bold vote of confidence in a plastic-free future," says Anna Altner, Founder of Yangi. "To close an oversubscribed round with such strong industrial and financial partners gives us the prerequisites to scale. Together, we're building the next generation of packaging".

Industrifonden leads the round

As the lead investor, Industrifonden brings deep experience in scaling transformative industrial technologies.

With a portfolio grounded in science- and technology-driven ventures, and roots in Swedish industry, Industrifonden aligns with Yangi's long-term vision for global sustainability through innovation.

"Yangi's dry forming technology uses paper fiber in an extremely efficient manner and has the potential to compete with plastic in cost per unit," says Anna Haupt, Investment Director at Industrifonden. She continues: "A low unit cost is necessary to transform the packaging industry and reduce the plastic mountains piling up on land and in our oceans."

"At Almi Invest GreenTech, we look for companies that combine strong climate impact with the ability to scale globally. Yangi has shown not only technological readiness, but also a business model that makes the transition from plastic to fiber realistic for packaging producers. That combination of innovation and practicality is why we believe Yangi can become a key player in building a more sustainable industry," says Erik Madeyski Bengtson, Investment Manager at Almi Invest GreenTech
