TextureJet secures key investment to accelerate growth and innovation in surface engineering

This investment brings together a unique combination of public and private investment from across the Midlands and beyond, including follow-on support from the University of Nottingham, reinvestment from existing shareholder Foresight Group, through MEIF 1 (Midlands Engine Investment Fund), and new debt funding from Maven Capital Partners, utilising MEIF 2 capital.

“This funding round is more than just capital—it’s a powerful endorsement of our technology, team, and the regional ecosystem that supports high-growth innovation,” said Jonathon Mitchell-Smith, CEO and Founder of TextureJet. “We’re proud to bring together such a distinguished group of investors who share our vision of transforming surface processing for the next generation of manufacturing.”

TextureJet’s revolutionary approach to edge shaping, surface preparation and part-marking provides manufacturers with a cleaner, more efficient, and highly controllable alternative to traditional methods. With this new funding, the company will expand its commercial offering and production capability to keep up with market demand for its products in the high-precision manufacturing sector.

This investment also highlights the strength and collaborative ambition of the Midlands innovation network, combining resources from the UK Government, British Business Bank and all ten Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) under the Midlands Engine banner.

Jonathan Lowe, Partner, Regional Debt Funds, said: “TextureJet is delivering a tooling platform with world leading capability and we’re delighted to back Jonathon and the team at such a pivotal point in the company’s growth. A real local success story as a spinout of Nottingham University’s Faculty of Engineering, all machines are built in-house using suppliers in the Midlands which is a credit to the materials available and workmanship in the region. We look forward to supporting the business as they accelerate their expansion plans.”

As TextureJet continues to scale, it stands as a model for how regional collaboration can deliver cutting-edge innovation with global relevance—reaffirming the Midlands' place at the heart of the UK’s advanced manufacturing future.

TextureJet will be showcasing its award-winning technology at EMO Hannover this September.
