Pilot · Validation · Scale-up readiness

From sample to scalable prooffor next-generation materials.

Loonshot Factory is an independent pilot and material-validation facility in Lemi, Finland. We help inventors, brand owners and process licensors close the gap between a promising lab result and a credible industrial decision.

Loonshot Factory pilot hall in Lemi

What we do

A pilot platform built for proof.

Feasibility studies

Bench-to-pilot translation, mass-balance review and process scoping for novel feedstocks.

Pilot runs

Campaigns from kilograms to tonnes on shared, calibrated, food/non-food capable lines.

Material validation

Specification testing, sample production for brand qualification, repeatable batches.

Scale-up readiness

Data packs, mass and energy balances, and a credible path toward a commercial line.

Materials we work with

Agro-fibres
Packaging substrates
Recycled textile
Bio-based polymers & composites
Pressure reactor at Lemi

The site

Lemi, Finland.

A re-purposed industrial site with halls, utilities and a foam-forming unit on-site. A steam-explosion reactor is in build, expanding pretreatment capability for lignocellulosic feedstocks.
