Molg develops robotic Microfactories and software to autonomously disassemble complex electronic products such as laptops and servers, recovering valuable components and materials for reuse. The company is building a Design for Disassembly (DfD) Toolchain that integrates with CAD to enable predictable, repeatable disassembly sequences and to guide circular product design. Under a DOE-backed project, Molg will deploy five robotic Microfactories to harvest laptop batteries faster and at lower cost, and will launch its first microfactory at a Sims Lifecycle Services facility. Molg is working with consumer electronics OEMs including HP to design new laptop models for enhanced circularity and to help partners meet sustainability targets. The company is also partnering with Virginia Commonwealth University and Rewriting the Code to develop workforce training for robot technicians and sustainable product designers. Financially, Molg announced a $5M DOE grant and recently closed a $5.5M seed funding round with strategic investors. Molg develops robotic microfactories and design-for-circularity services to keep electronics and electrical components in circulation by recovering valuable components and materials. The company’s core product is an autonomous robotic disassembly microfactory that can process complex devices such as laptops and servers. Molg partners with manufacturers to redesign products for automated recovery and already works with companies including HP, Dell and ABB Robotics & Automation Ventures. The team has installed robotic disassembly microfactories at Sims Lifecycle Services and is rolling out to IT asset disposition (ITAD) facilities of leading hyperscalers. Molg is headquartered and operates a manufacturing facility in Sterling, Northern Virginia. The company recently closed a $5.5 million seed funding round to scale production capacity and meet growing customer demand for circularity and automation.
