ALIGNING ECONOMY WITH NATURE
Industrial heating has long been an overlooked lever for sustainability. With digital precision heating, watttron is changing that—enabling manufacturers to use exactly the energy they need, and no more. From the start, ECBF recognized both the technical potential and the broader impact of our approach. Their team brings deep sector insight and hands-on support, helping us accelerate market adoption and build strong partnerships across industries. Together, we’re proving that efficiency is not just good engineering, it’s good business.
Building a digital platform in a traditional, fragmented industry like packaging requires more than capital — it needs partners who understand both the operational complexity and the sustainability imperative. ECBF combines exactly that: strategic guidance, industry access, and a deep conviction that digitalisation is key to accelerating the circular economy. Their engagement has been instrumental in helping us scale faster and connect with like-minded partners across Europe who share our vision of a more transparent and resource-efficient packaging ecosystem.
When you’re working to reinvent something as established as the coatings industry, you need investors who think beyond short-term trends. ECBF immediately understood both the scientific challenge and the systemic opportunity behind bio-based coatings. They ask the right questions, open the right doors, and hold us accountable to the impact we aim to create. It’s rare to find a financial partner that pushes you technically, strategically, and ethically at the same time — and that’s exactly what ECBF does.
Scaling a material innovation like Paptic requires not only sustainability ambition and industrial expertise, but also a strong commitment to creating customer value. Together with ECBF, we bring together deep sector knowledge and a dedication to building long‑term partnerships. Their European network complements our technology and mission, helping us turn our vision into tangible impact. With their support, we are not just replacing plastics and other conventional materials — we are building the foundation for a truly circular materials economy.
What I appreciate most about ECBF is that they truly get what it means to build a biotech company in Europe. They’re not just financiers — they understand the long cycles, the science, and the need to think globally from day one. Their belief in our mission to make sustainable ingredients the new industry standard has given us both confidence and the right kind of pressure to accelerate. With ECBF, we have a partner who challenges us, supports us, and shares our vision of making green chemistry mainstream.
