Strategic Acquisition NBD Nano was acquired by Henkel in September 2022, indicating validation of their surface modification technology by a major global player. This presents an opportunity to approach Henkel for ongoing collaboration, licensing, or expansion of existing solutions into Henkel's broader materials portfolio.
High Value Niche Specializes in molecular-level tailoring of surface properties to repel water, oil, stains, microbial growth, and fingerprints. Target industries include electronics, coatings, and consumer surfaces seeking durable, customized anti-fingerprint and anti-microbial coatings, suggesting sales focus on premium, performance-driven segments.
Early Stage Revenue Current revenue is in the low millions with total funding around 17 million. Focus sales efforts on larger partnerships or licensing deals with industrial manufacturers and coating companies that can leverage their proprietary platform to scale, rather than pure product sales.
Strategic Partnerships Past collaborations with Mendener Präzisionsrohr GmbH and involvement with major players like BASF indicate a pattern of channel partnerships. Pursue co-development, OEM collaboration, or white-label opportunities with equipment manufacturers and material producers in target sectors.
Market Readiness Awards and press coverage for anti-fingerprint and anti-microbial coatings signal credibility and market interest. Craft outreach around case studies and tech validation to attract corporate buyers seeking reliable, durable surface modifications for electronics, analytics devices, and consumer surfaces.
