Melt&Marble, a Gothenburg-based biotechnology company pioneering precision-fermented “designer fats” for food and personal care applications, has raised €7.3 million (about $8.5 million) in a Series A funding round to scale production and bring its first ingredients to market. The funding marks a significant milestone as the company transitions from research and development toward commercialisation of sustainable, high-performance fats that mimic and surpass conventional oils and animal fats. The round was led by Industrifonden, a Swedish deep-tech investor focused on breakthrough scientific companies, and included strategic participation from the European Commission’s European Innovation Council (EIC) Fund, as well as Beiersdorf, a global personal care giant, Valio, a major dairy and plant-based foods company, Chalmers Ventures, and Catalyze Capital. The EIC Accelerator had also previously supported Melt&Marble with a €2.5 million grant, bringing total recent capital support to over €10 million. Melt&Marble’s platform uses precision fermentation- engineering yeast to produce tailored fats with specific structural and functional properties to create sustainable alternatives to animal-derived fats and environmentally problematic tropical plant oils. The new funds will help scale production from demonstration to commercial volumes, support regulatory strategy for personal care launch in 2026, and prepare entry into the U.S. food market. #precisionfermentation #bioeconomy #SeriesA #funding #sustainablefood #personalcare #designerfats #MeltAndMarble #Industrifonden #EICFund #Beiersdorf #Valio @ChalmersVentures @CatalyzeCapital
