Corant wins new investor

The start-up analyzes air quality. It has now been able to win a new backer for its idea, who is investing a six-figure sum.

The company Robert Thomas Metall- und Elektrowerke GmbH und Co KG is investing a six-figure sum in Corant and wants to work with the start-up on new solutions and possible expansion abroad.

The start-up Corant is fully committed to air quality. Founded in Chemnitz and Leipzig in 2015, it launched airQ, an air analyzer on the market in 2020 that can distinguish and record up to 14 measured variables. AirQ can measure and analyze air components such as carbon dioxide, ozone and particulate matter. The aim is to ensure how good the air in rooms and buildings is. The results are then visualized via an app on the smartphone or in a web portal in the browser.

The medium-sized company Robert Thomas Metall- und Elektrowerke is also involved in the topic of air quality. Corant Managing Director Mario Körösi says of the investment in his start-up: "In Robert Thomas, we have a genuine partner with a long-term interest. This fits in perfectly with our strategy." Business angel Ralf Unthan, who has increased his investment, also remains on board. TGFS Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen also remains an investor.
