The defense manufacturing company said Tuesday it will use the capital to expand its flagship factory Forge Huntington; scale its tactical engine division Mach Propulsion; and advance the continued deployment of its unmanned defense systems: Viper, Glide and Stratos.
“Mach Industries exists to enhance national readiness and preserve America’s strategic edge,” said Ethan Thornton, founder and CEO of Mach Industries.
“Global security depends on America’s ability to create asymmetric unmanned capability. That means scaling production, building new facilities and fielding systems that deter conflict,” Thornton added.
Sequoia Capital and existing investors participated in the latest funding round. In 2023, Sequoia made a seed investment in Mach Industries.
