Fiber Global, a climate-tech innovator based in Indiana, announced that it has secured $20 million in Series A funding, led by DBL Partners. Ira Ehrenpreis, Founder & Managing Partner at DBL, joins the board—a sign of active, mission-aligned investor support.
The investment will fund expansion of Fiber Global’s proprietary U.S.-based manufacturing platform that transforms abundant waste streams—like corrugated cardboard and agricultural byproducts—into high-performance, formaldehyde-free building panels. These products are UL GREENGUARD Gold certified, emit zero VOCs, and offer dramatically lower embodied carbon compared to traditional materials.
Founder and CEO KC McCreery explained that the Series A allows the team to “continue rapidly scaling our United States manufacturing footprint and production capacity” under DBL’s active guidance. This momentum follows two years of successful pilot deployments with leading materials companies.
With construction responsible for over 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Fiber Global’s approach offers a compelling, circular alternative. Their flagship board, Forged Fiber Board (FFB), competes with gypsum and fiber-cement products in performance while leveraging waste as a resource.
Fiber Global’s strategy aligns tightly with global decarbonization trends and rising demand for sustainable, locally manufactured building materials. The Series A round confirms investor confidence and positions the company for accelerated growth and broader market impact.
