TactoTek has restructured its Board of Directors following a $60+ million funding round, bringing together seasoned leaders to drive global expansion of its innovative IMSE® technology. With their expertise and strong financial backing, TactoTek is poised to accelerate the adoption of its sustainable smart surface solutions across automotive, industrial, and high-growth markets.

Oulu, Finland – January 16, 2025 – Following its $60+ million funding round, TactoTek, the global leader in In-Mold Structural Electronics (IMSE®) technology, has reconstituted its Board of Directors with accomplished leaders whose collective expertise supports TactoTek’s strategic global market expansion across multiple industries.
