Ralf Zastrau, CEO of Nanogate AG, commented: "The market for high- performance surfaces offers Nanogate huge potential in the field of functional textiles and care products for sport and leisure articles, for example. Especially following completion of the Nanogate innovation initiative, we have started mass-producing many new products, which are now being successfully marketed by our partners. We want to build on these foundations and tap this lucrative market faster, in addition to via our equity holding in Holmenkol AG. We expect sales to comfortably reach seven figures and earnings to be clearly positive as early as the 2012 financial year."
Nanogate has a well-established product portfolio and a growing customer base both for enhancing functional textiles and for premium products with applications in the areas of sport and leisure.
In light of this, the new company will also be responsible for the strategic cooperation with GEA Air Treatment GmbH. The two companies received their first joint orders in 2011. As part of their partnership, both firms have added a new generation of filter systems to their product ranges.
Holger Zytur was appointed as an additional Managing Director, having previously been responsible for these application areas. "Last year, millions of products for use in the fields of functional textiles and sport/leisure were enhanced using Nanogate-Technologie, and this figure is rapidly rising. We will continue on our growth path with Nanogate Textile & Care Systems GmbH and offer our clients even better service plus many more innovations."

Nanogate AG:
Nanogate is the leading international integrated systems
provider for nanosurfaces, concentrating primarily on
enhancing high-performance surfaces. The firm, which is based
in Göttelborn (Saarland), enables the programming and
integration of additional properties - such as non-stick,
antibacterial, anti-corrosive and ultra-low friction - into
materials and surfaces. As an enabler, Nanogate gains a
competitive edge for its customers by means of product
refinement using chemical nanotechnology. Nanogate covers a
wide range of industries, functions and substrates. The
company thus provides a decisive interface for the commercial
use of chemical nanotechnology and bridges the gap between
the suppliers of raw materials and industrial conversion into
products. In doing so, Nanogate concentrates as an enabler on
one of the most attractive segments in the industry. Nanogate
has a unique combination of extensive materials expertise
paired with comprehensive, first-class process and production
know-how. As a systems provider, Nanogate offers services
throughout the entire value chain, from the purchase of raw
materials, to the synthesis and formulation of the material
systems, right through to the enhancement and production of
the finished surfaces. Nanogate focuses primarily on plastic
and metal coatings for all surface types (two and
three-dimensional components).
The Nanogate Group currently has approximately 250 employees
in all and since commencing operations in 1999 has been a
trailblazer in nanotechnology. The company has first-class
customer references (e.g. Audi, BMW, Bosch-Siemens
Haushaltsgeräte, Junkers, Kärcher, Hörmann Group, Opel and
REWE International AG) and many years' experience of
different industries and applications. Several hundred
projects have already gone into mass production. The company
also has strategic partnerships with a number of
international corporations. Nanogate comprises Nanogate
Industrial Solutions GmbH, Eurogard B.V., Nanogate Textile &
Care Systems GmbH, a majority stake in GfO Gesellschaft für
Oberflächentechnik AG and a minority holding in Holmenkol AG.
