About the offering

Did you know that it costs more than $20,000 to launch a single pound of material into space? Or that car companies need to cut 270 pounds from the average vehicle by 2025, in order to meet legislated fuel efficiency standards? Major industries from all over the world have spent years trying to solve the problem of cutting weight from their products, while maintaining strength and integrity. Today, lightweighting is a mega-trend, causing a generational revolution in global transportation, defense, and metals and mining companies. One common solution, for the automotive industry for example, is to substitute light metals like aluminum for heavier metals like steel. However, recent tariffs have caused a significant shortage of aluminum in the North American market, bringing rise to the need for additional supply. And on the next frontier, there is a growing need for even harder, stronger and more heat-resistant replacement materials. The Solution - Braidy Industries offers multiple solutions to solve the lightweighting problem: Veloxint - our proprietary, ultra high-strength, next generation metal alloy that is stronger than steel and lighter than stainless, 3x stronger than today's most commonly-used metals. The Braidy Atlas Mill - a state-of-the-art aluminum mill now under construction in Ashland, Kentucky that should allow us to produce sheet aluminum for the automotive industry at a 20-30% discount to peers
