SDC Technologies Expands Investment in flō Optics and Joins Board Following SAFE Financing Round

SDC Technologies, a subsidiary of Mitsui Chemicals, announced a significant follow-on investment in flō Optics as part of the company's recently completed SAFE financing round. SDC served as a lead strategic investor and will appoint a representative to flō Optics' Board of Directors, building on their initial partnership established during flō Optics' Series A financing in July 2025. The proceeds from this round will support flō Optics' transition into early commercialization, expanded customer deployments, and the development of next-generation digital coating platforms. All eligible existing shareholders exercised pro-rata participation rights. This move reinforces SDC's commitment to flō Optics' proprietary digital coating technology for ophthalmic lenses.
