Mission
To help professionals around the world discover, develop & commercialize material science, through equipment, technology & knowledge.
Vision
To grow and develop into the leading company for lab and pilot-scale slot die coating solutions, enabling material science.
HISTORY MODULE GOES HERE
We build systems that turn ideas into impact
We partner with scientists and engineers to advance thin-film research. Founded in 2012 as a spin-out from Risø at the Technical University of Denmark, we started with benchtop roll coaters for organic solar cells and grew into a portfolio of standardized and configurable slot-die coating systems for advanced R&D.
Today we bring together engineered hardware, intuitive software, and practical know-how to move results from first films to pilot studies — with precise methods and clean, reproducible data. Slot-die coating lets you deposit functional materials as thin and as uniform as your work demands; we handle the automation behind that precision so your focus stays on the science, not the setup.
Designed and built in-house
We keep development and production close to home. From first sketch to final assembly, our systems are designed, engineered, and built in-house in Scandinavia. Managing the whole process ourselves is how we hold a consistent standard of quality and durability — systems engineered to be reliable, long-lasting partners for your lab or pilot line, year after year.
We are with you from first film to full scale
Proven fit
Demos or proof-of-concept when you need them, with a documented acceptance at installation.
Reliable uptime
