Rebound Technologies has secured a $2 million strategic investment from KCC Manufacturing to expand their preferred manufacturing partnership and support the scale-up of Rebound’s IcePoint thermal energy storage technology. The companies said the funding follows the successful completion of key manufacturing milestones for Rebound’s thermal energy system.
According to Rebound, the partnership is intended to accelerate commercial deployment of IcePoint across industries that require reliable, high-performance cooling and energy flexibility. The company said its technology decouples when cooling is produced from when it is used by producing and storing cooling during periods of lower demand and deploying it during peak periods.
Rebound said this approach enables facilities to reduce peak load, maintain reliability and deliver cooling when needed. The company also said customers can unlock additional capacity, reduce peak energy demand and maintain consistent performance during periods of extreme load.
KCC Manufacturing has worked with Rebound through the early production phases of the thermal energy cooling system, supporting manufacturing development and delivery milestones intended to demonstrate the scalability of the technology. The companies said the strengthened partnership will support the next phase of manufacturing scale-up and commercial deployment of IcePoint systems.
“This investment reflects the strength of our collaboration with KCC and the progress we have made moving IcePoint from innovation to commercial deployment,” said Eric Kish, CEO of Rebound Technologies. “As demand grows for flexible cooling and energy solutions, scaling manufacturing is a critical step in delivering our technology to customers who need both performance and efficiency.”
“Our partnership with Rebound represents a shared commitment to advancing innovative thermal energy solutions,” said Joel Strieter, President of KCC Manufacturing. “After working alongside the Rebound team during key manufacturing milestones, we are confident in the technology and excited to support its continued growth.”
