TM Systems’ solutions improve resource efficiency and contribute to industrial decarbonisation. Partially guaranteed by the EIF, the loan financing from Nefco is set to enable faster deployment of the company’s solutions and support its international growth.
Nefco – the Nordic Green Bank – has signed a EUR 5 million loan agreement with the Finnish cleantech company TM Systems (TM System Finland Oy) to support the scale‑up and international deployment of its industrial technologies. The financing, which is partially guaranteed by the European Investment Fund (EIF) under the InvestEU programme, will accelerate commercialisation of solutions that reduce emissions and improve process performance, including advanced drying concepts that enable the conversion of industrial side streams into new materials.
“Nefco’s financing marks a significant milestone in TM Systems’ journey toward transforming industrial production into a cleaner, smarter and more sustainable process. This partnership strengthens our ability to scale internationally, supporting our growth in Europe and Asia alike, where demand for next‑generation energy – and resource‑efficient technologies continues to grow. Together with Nefco, we are empowering industries to meet their climate ambitions and paving the way for a future where sustainable production is not merely an aspiration but a standard,” says Markus Hallapuro, CEO of TM Systems.
TM Systems provides solutions for processing and manufacturing industries with a strong focus on process optimisation and decarbonisation. Its portfolio includes energy-efficiency solutions, advanced air and drying systems as well as emission‑control solutions designed to minimise environmental impacts. The company’s Zero‑Ex® emission‑control system eliminates visible and gaseous emissions while recirculating water and air for reuse, supporting cleaner operations and more efficient resource loops.
TM Systems’ latest development is its advanced drying technology. The SuperDryer™ enables clean and versatile material processing, allowing industries to convert sludges into bioenergy or fertilisers, produce recycled cellulose, utilise agro‑waste in Bio‑to‑X concepts or substitute virgin materials with recycled ones. Existing drying systems for virgin biomass can also be upgraded with the SuperDryer™ to enhance operational stability and broaden end‑use opportunities.
Nefco’s financing addresses a key bottleneck in the company’s growth by enabling the scale‑up and wider deployment of its latest solutions on global markets.
“Supporting innovative Nordic companies that deliver practical and scalable climate and circular economy solutions is the core of our mandate. TM Systems’ technologies show how improvements in industrial processes can deliver immediate and lasting environmental benefits,” says Vivi Avikainen, Senior Investment Manager, Nefco.
Nefco is focused on scaling up Nordic green solutions and mobilising further investment into technologies that support a low‑carbon and resource‑efficient economy. By stepping in at this stage, Nefco aims to accelerate the green transition in industrial sectors in which emissions reductions are urgently needed.
