Kinetyc and Klear Unite to Remove Growth Barriers for the Next Generation of Manufacturers

Kinetyc, the adaptive manufacturing division of Voltava, announced a new partnership with Klear, the capital intelligence platform that transforms the way fast-growing companies use, manage, and raise working capital. Together, the organizations will work to strengthen and scale Detroit's advanced manufacturing ecosystem by helping high-growth companies access the capital and production infrastructure they need to move from innovation to delivery.

The partnership brings together Kinetyc's mission to provide scalable, flexible contract manufacturing for startups, OEMs, and growth-stage companies with Klear's expertise in capital planning and working capital access. The shared goal: help companies building the next generation of products, from electrified vehicles and autonomous systems to robotics and consumer hardware, and scale production without being held back by capital constraints.

"Detroit is experiencing a manufacturing renaissance. Companies across mobility, robotics, clean energy, and defense are choosing Michigan because of our workforce, infrastructure, and deep manufacturing expertise," said Scott Cieslak, President at Kinetyc. "Partnering with Klear gives the companies we work with a critical missing piece, the ability to plan, manage, and access the capital they need to keep production moving as fast as their ambitions."

"Some of the most exciting hardware and deep-tech companies in the country are scaling out of Detroit, but growth-stage manufacturers face a unique challenge: they win contracts and orders faster than traditional financing can keep up," said Chris Hale, CEO at Klear. "Kinetyc is solving the production side of that equation. Together, we're making sure capital never becomes the bottleneck between a signed order and a shipped product."

Kinetyc operates a 100,000-square-foot facility in Wixom, Michigan, equipped with advanced 3D printing, laser cutting, and flexible assembly capabilities. Born out of Voltava, a $2 billion contract manufacturer with nearly 5,800 employees worldwide, Kinetyc was built to serve innovators who need to move fast, offering production that scales up or down with demand across industries including electric marine, autonomous drones, EV charging infrastructure, and industrial equipment.

Michigan is a cornerstone of American manufacturing and innovation. The state's manufacturing sector contributes nearly $100 billion to GDP, ranking among the top five states nationally for manufacturing output. Michigan is home to 568,000 high-tech workers, fourth in the nation, and ranks third or fourth nationally in research and development expenditures. Metro Detroit is the second-largest source of architectural and engineering jobs in the U.S., and the region's transition into electric vehicles, autonomous systems, and advanced manufacturing is drawing a new generation of companies to the state.

Fast-growing manufacturers operate on tight timelines with milestone-driven revenue, large upfront material costs, and long payment cycles that can stall production at the worst possible moment. Klear provides clarity and liquidity by helping companies plan capital across production milestones and financing approved orders, so they can pay suppliers, fund production runs, and take on new contracts without dilution or delivery delays.

By combining Kinetyc's adaptive manufacturing capabilities with Klear's Capital Intelligence Platform, the partnership aims to build a faster, more resilient path from prototype to production, one where companies scaling in Detroit and beyond can grow confidently and deliver breakthrough products at speed.
