Nanogate AG has begun serial production and delivery for the order in the company's history. With this order in the area of industrial business, encompassing a cumulative sales volume of up to USD 100 million, Nanogate successfully achieved its breakthrough into the market of stainless steel replacement technologies in 2018. Applications in the field of artificial metals (metallized plastics) represent one of the Group's three central target markets. Nanogate uses a heat-resistant plastic that is metallized with a stainless steel look when producing components for kitchen appliances. This process is developed and integrated in-house. The technology is based on innovative molding processes and multifunctional enhancement. Included in this are a number of surface options, such as easy-to-clean or anti-fingerprint, with the possible integration of additional functions. Following last-minute design adjustments requested by the customer - and the resulting increased complexity of production preparation - the delayed large-volume serial production of components has now begun. In addition to this project, Nanogate won a further major order with a cumulative volume of USD 50 million from the same customer this year. Production for this project is expected to begin in 2020 and will run for up to eight years. Based on N-Glaze technology, its second significant technology platform, Nanogate supplies innovative, enhanced plastic surfaces of the highest optical quality, which are available in various color variants. These are also used in kitchen appliances.
