Companies Facts

incorporate Nanoco’s cadmium-free quantum dots (CFQD™) into the lighting company’s LEDs to cre- ate LED lighting with superior performance characte- ristics. The 12 month agreement with the lighting company is expected to be followed either by further development work or by proceeding to product launch. The financial details of the agreement are not being disclosed.

Michael Edelman, Nanoco’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “I’m delighted to sign this agreement with one of the world’s largest lighting companies. We belie- ve that our technology has the potential to unlock the widespread use of LED lighting in offices, homes and elsewhere because we can deliver the required colour performance.”

anocomp Technologies, Inc., a developer of energy-saving performance materials and

component pro- ducts from car- bon nanotubes (CNTs), announced that its unique nanotube-based sheet material, EMSHIELD, has been incorporated into the Juno spacecraft, launched on August 5, 2011, to provide protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) as the spacecraft makes its way through space to Jupiter. Specifically, the Juno development team used Nano- comp material as a surface layer on several critical components of the flight system’s attitude control motor struts and the main engine housing. Nano- comp worked in partnership with Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), the prime contractor on the project, to

integrate EMSHIELD during spacecraft development and construction.

“The Juno spacecraft has many composite com- ponents throughout the structure that require ESD protection especially as it will be travelling through Jupiter’s extremely strong radiation belts,” said Peter Antoinette, president and CEO, Nanocomp Techno- logies. “Lockheed was interested in implementing an alternative ESD solution to traditional aluminum foil that is typically bonded to the surface of compo- sites. By adding EMSHIELD CNT sheet layers duri- ng fabrication of the composite, they were able to integrate ESD protection directly onto the structure, making the composite a multifunctional element of the spacecraft.”

anogate AG (ISIN DE000A0JKHC9) has excee- ded own plans and is profiting substantially from

its expansion strategy: according to preliminary fi- gures the company increased its sales in the first half of 2011 by more than 190% to over EUR16.6 million (previous year: EUR 5.7 million). EBITDA improved to around EUR1.6 million (previous year: EUR-1.2 million). On June 30, 2011 the company held over EUR3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Ralf Zastrau, CEO of German Nanogate, comments: “In the first half-year Nanogate performed outstan- dingly, generating record sales. The growth activi- ties are paying off in full. With the equity holdings Eurogard B.V. and GfO AG we are excellently positi- oned as the leading international integrated systems provider for nanosurfaces to benefit from the growing
