Operator-led advisory, capital strategy, and project development across energy, advanced manufacturing, and industrial infrastructure.
We bring capital-markets discipline and direct operating experience to situations where execution, capital structure, and regulatory complexity determine outcomes.
As CEO of Imperium3 New York (iM3NY), appointed by the company's senior secured lenders, Lukasz Cianciara led the U.S. lithium-ion battery manufacturer through stabilization, UL/UN product certification, and commercial development with Fortune 500 customers — then through DIP financing, a Chapter 11 process, and a Section 363 sale to a Japanese multinational corporation.
That experience — building, financing, and ultimately repositioning a complex industrial asset under real constraints — is where Silmera's approach was forged. We bring the same operating discipline to capital across energy, advanced manufacturing, and industrial infrastructure, in situations well upstream of distress as often as in it.
Built in the operating seat
Platform
Silmera builds value through an integrated platform — aligning strategy, capital, and execution across three disciplines.
Advisory
We advise lenders, sponsors, boards, and operators in complex operating and capital situations across energy, batteries, and advanced manufacturing — at the points where capital structure, operating performance, and regulatory exposure intersect. Engagements range from rapid asset triage and an operator's-read diligence to restructuring strategy and transaction support. We work as a hands-on operating partner alongside your legal, financial, and technical advisors — not in place of them.
Capital & Restructuring
We advise lenders, sponsors, and operators in situations where capital structure requires active judgment rather than passive allocation — through growth, transition, and restructuring. We align capital structure with operating reality, keep governance and incentives coherent, and preserve optionality as conditions shift, working alongside capital providers rather than in place of them.
Project Development
We help developers, founders, and strategic investors structure and prepare industrial and energy projects for financing — where execution discipline decides whether they get built. Our work spans development structuring, financing strategy, and execution planning, with particular emphasis on regulatory-compliant domestic supply chains and FEOC-aware project design.
Our Philosophy
We work across energy, materials, and industrial systems where execution discipline, capital structure, and regulatory context determine outcomes — not where they're treated as afterthoughts.
Our premise is simple: resilience is created where innovation meets integrity. We partner with founders, operators, and investors who value transparency and long-term performance, and who recognize that complex situations call for clear, documented judgment rather than abstraction.
Silmera brings finance, engineering, and strategy together to build platforms that endure across market cycles, regulatory change, and operational transition.
