The Surface Revolution
The future of surfaces is nano-structured, sustainable and intelligent.
Inspired by nature. Powered by light. Designed for a new generation of products.
We transform surfaces into functional and intelligent materials.
Nature is our role model: From the lotus effect and butterfly wings to the streamlined structure of shark skin – it demonstrates how surfaces can combine maximum efficiency with sustainability. We translate these principles into industrial applications with unprecedented impact.
Using our Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) technology and complementary high-performance coatings, we create innovative surface functionalities that are durable, scalable and resource-efficient.
Our technology opens up new possibilities for key industries with low-friction components in mobility, antibacterial surfaces for medical technology and high-precision parts for energy, electronics, and aerospace.
Our surfaces lay the foundation for a new generation of products – more powerful, longer-lasting, and more efficient than ever before.
