FRX Polymers, a Chelmsford MA-based manufacturer and marketer of an environmentally friendly family of inherently flame retardant plastics and oligomers, closed an $8m Series C-2 financing.
The round was led by PMV, with participation from current shareholders Evonik Venture Capital, DB Masdar Cleantech Fund, BASF Venture Capital, and others.
This financing, which added to the $12m Series C-1 financing completed in December 2013 (read here) and brought the total Series C round to $20MM, also coincided with the opening of FRX’s first industrial scale Green flame retardant polymer plant in Antwerp Belgium.
The company intends to use the capital to expand its sales efforts.
