Vibrant Corporation announces that it has closed financing led by New Mexico venture capital firm, Verge Fund. These funds will be used for Vibrant’s marketing and business development activities. “We are excited to be working with Verge Fund. The funds from this financing will allow us to accelerate our marketing and sales efforts including the expansion of operations in the United Kingdom.

Vibrant Corporation provides nondestructive testing services to customers in the aerospace manufacturing and maintenance markets. The Company helps its manufacturing customers to increase production yields while decreasing the likelihood that inferior components enter service. For Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) customers, Vibrant’s system provides early identification of damaged or aging components thereby optimizing component life while decreasing the likelihood of a component failing in service. Vibrant serves domestic and international customers from its headquarters in Albuquerque, NM.
“Vibrant is a key addition to Verge’s portfolio of New Mexico high-tech companies. Their technology originated in Los Alamos National Laboratory and it has been successfully commercialized in two previous markets by other New Mexico Companies. I believe that it will revolutionize nondestructive testing in the aerospace manufacturing and maintenance markets both nationally and internationally,” said Verge Partner David Durgin.
