QUICK READ
4T2 Sensors, a Birmingham-based company developing real-time fluid analysis technology, has secured £800k in seed funding. The round was led by the West Midlands Co-Investment Fund (WMCO), managed by Midven (part of Future Planet Capital), alongside Waterpoint Lane and a group of angel investors.
Founded in 2018 by Max Swinbourne and Dr. Alexander Smith, 4T2 Sensors’ technology enables real-time monitoring of fluid concentration, contamination, and mixtures using electrical signals. The solution is designed to optimise the Clean-in-Place (CIP) process in food and beverage (F&B) manufacturing, reducing water and chemical usage while improving efficiency. Users report an average 20% reduction in CIP time.
The funding will support market expansion, including obtaining key certifications like ATEX for hazardous environments, as well as hiring product managers, application engineers, and hardware engineers. The investment positions 4T2 Sensors as a leader in sustainable F&B production, helping manufacturers meet ESG requirements and enhance operational sustainability.
