CircuitHub, a company building automated electronics manufacturing infrastructure, has raised $28 million in a funding round led by Plural to accelerate the expansion of its software-defined factories across the US and Europe.
Founded by Andrew Seddon, CircuitHub has developed an automated manufacturing system that turns uploaded design files into production-ready circuit boards in days rather than months. The company combines robotics, computer vision, AI, and software-driven manufacturing to make low-volume and high-mix electronics production commercially viable.
The company’s platform is designed for engineers building technologies such as satellites, robotics, autonomous systems, and industrial hardware, allowing teams to order everything from a single prototype to batches of 10,000 units through a browser-based interface.
The new funding will support the rollout of CircuitHub’s automated “Grid” factories across Europe and North America, expansion of its engineering team, and development into full-service electronics manufacturing.
“Today, hardware companies face a tough choice: either spin up their own vertically integrated manufacturing from scratch, or rely on a legacy Western supply chain that's been decaying for years,” said Andrew Seddon, founder and CEO of CircuitHub. “CircuitHub is the alternative: providing remote access to a cutting-edge factory through your browser or your AI agent. Just as software companies share cloud compute, hardware companies can now share our Grid.”
The company has already delivered more than 2 million circuit boards and serves over 20,000 engineers globally, positioning itself at the centre of a growing push to strengthen domestic electronics manufacturing capacity amid increasing geopolitical and supply chain pressures.
“As robotics, AI and advanced hardware accelerate, their combination of automation, software and data is making electronics manufacturing as fast, flexible, and accessible as writing code,” said Sten Tamkivi, Partner at Plural. “This is also about resilience and sovereignty, ensuring that Europe and the US can design, build and iterate on critical technologies locally.”
