UK - 3i et al. invest further £5.1m into Metalysis

Rotherham-based Metalysis has developed a technology that enables the production of tantalum, titanium and other metals and alloys from their oxides, in a manner that is less capital intensive and environmentally more beneficial than conventional methods. The technology is based on the FFC Cambridge Process, for which the company holds the global intellectual property and commercial exploitation rights.

Metalysis was spun-out of Cambridge University as FCC Ltd in 2001, before re-branding in 2003. Since 2004, the business has raised £19 million in venture capital and a further £4 million in grants. It employs 43 people in a range of science and engineering, scale-up and commercial development operations.
