PolyML, a developer of advanced machine learning and data analytics technology, has announced a strategic investment from Martinrea International Inc., a globally diversified automotive supplier. This move marks an important step in strengthening the adoption of PolyML’s technology within complex industrial environments, particularly automotive manufacturing.
To begin with, Martinrea International has made an initial investment of $1.5 million, securing a minority equity stake in PolyML. This investment reflects Martinrea’s confidence in PolyML’s technical capabilities and its relevance to real-world, data-intensive manufacturing operations. Moreover, subject to certain agreed conditions, the total investment is expected to reach $3.0 million over the next two years, signaling a long-term commitment between the two companies.

At the same time, PolyML and Martinrea have entered into a multi-year services and collaboration agreement. Under this agreement, PolyML’s technology will be deployed across Martinrea’s automotive manufacturing operations. In addition, both organizations will jointly develop new solutions aimed at improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing product quality across manufacturing sites.
“This investment and collaboration represent an important validation of our technology in demanding, real-world manufacturing environments,” said Mardi Witzel, Chief Executive Officer of PolyML. “Working with a global automotive organization allows us to continue refining our platform while addressing problems where data is large, complex, and operationally critical.”
Unlike many traditional machine learning tools, PolyML has built its technology from first principles of scientific discovery. Rather than relying on generic or off-the-shelf models, the company developed its proprietary Fiins AI platform specifically to handle large, structured, and information-dense datasets. As a result, Fiins AI delivers interpretable and decision-ready insights, which are critical in environments where performance, reliability, and trust in analytics directly impact operations. This approach helps organizations detect early signals, understand the drivers behind outcomes, and make confident decisions within complex systems.

“Fiins AI is a key component of Martinrea’s machine learning initiative, and our Advanced Manufacturing Team is making great progress in scaling this and other innovative technologies across our global network,” said Pat D’Eramo, Martinrea’s Chief Executive Officer. “The result has been a notable improvement in cost and efficiency in our manufacturing operations where these solutions have been deployed. Our partnership with PolyML has been central to these efforts, and we look forward to continuing to grow this relationship over time.”
Looking ahead, PolyML plans to use the investment capital to accelerate its growth by expanding technical and delivery teams. While manufacturing remains a core focus, the company also intends to extend its platform into highly regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. In these sectors, transparency, interpretability, and strong governance of advanced analytics are just as important as accuracy.
As part of the agreement, Martinrea will retain exclusivity for automotive-specific solutions, while PolyML preserves the flexibility to apply and scale its core technology across other industries.
