Strategic expansion Leverage Forge Nano’s rapid facility expansion in North Carolina to propose ALD-capable manufacturing lines, targeting customers seeking scalable battery cell production, advanced materials coatings, and in-house manufacturing capabilities.

Battery ecosystem Position Sundew’s ALD technology as a compatible process for battery manufacturing and protective coatings, aligning with Forge Nano’s 3 GWh per year plant and collaboration with Samsung SDI to offer faster, higher-quality film deposition for battery cells.

Strategic partnerships Highlight opportunities to bundle coating services and ALD equipment with Forge Nano’s existing partnerships (Group14, Samsung SDI) to create integrated production lines, reducing cost of ownership and time-to-scale for customers in semiconductors and energy storage.

Cost of ownership Emphasize Sundew’s efficiency and conformal film capabilities as a way to lower total cost of ownership in high-volume, multi-application manufacturing, appealing to Forge Nano’s investment emphasis and DOE-funded plant expansions.

Market readiness Target prospects in electronic chips, medical devices, flat panel displays, optical telecom, and solar who require precise, uniform coatings, offering pilot programs or testing services to demonstrate ALD benefits before full-scale deployment.
