Company Announcements

WATERLOO, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2026-- PolyML, a developer of advanced machine learning and data analytics technology, today announced a strategic investment by Martinrea International Inc. (TSX:MRE) a diversified and global automotive supplier. The initial investment of $1.5 million provides Martinrea International with a minority equity interest in PolyML and reflects its assessment of PolyML’s technology and its applicability in complex industrial environments. Subject to agreed conditions, the total investment is expected to increase to $3.0 million over the next two years.

In parallel with the investment, PolyML and Martinrea International have entered into a multi-year services and collaboration agreement covering the deployment of PolyML’s technology within automotive manufacturing operations, as well as the joint development of new solutions intended to support operational efficiency, cost reduction, and quality improvement.

“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.”

PolyML’s technology is built from the ground up using first principles of scientific discovery, rather than adapting generic or off-the-shelf machine learning approaches. Its proprietary Fiins AI platform is designed specifically to extract interpretable, decision-ready insight from large, structured, and information-dense datasets—particularly in settings where performance, reliability, and trust in analytical outputs are essential. This approach enables organizations to identify early signals, understand drivers of outcomes, and act with greater confidence in complex operational 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.”

The capital from the investment is intended to support PolyML’s continued growth, including the expansion of its technical and delivery teams. In addition to manufacturing which remains a core focus, PolyML plans to scale its capabilities to serve more regulated sectors, such as financial services and healthcare, where stakeholders and regulators place a premium not only on accuracy, but also on transparency, interpretability, and governance of advanced analytics.

Martinrea International will hold exclusivity with PolyML for automotive-specific solutions, while PolyML retains the ability to apply and extend its core technology across other industries.
