British startup Isembard has secured $9 million in seed funding to address the growing demand for reshoring manufacturing in critical industries. The funding round was led by Notion Capital, with participation from multiple investors including Basis Capital and Forward Fund. Isembard plans to create a network of factories in Western locations, focusing initially on aerospace, defense, and energy sectors. The startup aims to offer a local, resilient, and greener alternative to traditional manufacturing processes that are often outsourced to countries like China. With its proprietary software layer, MasonOS, Isembard seeks to modernize manufacturing by automating processes and managing supply chains efficiently. The team, led by CEO Alexander Fitzgerald, is small but plans to expand its operations beyond the UK and Europe, potentially targeting North America, Australia, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
