of a centre of excellence for the advanced metals division

Sales target in double-digit million range - new centre of excellence
expected to start at Neunkirchen site in second quarter of 2015 - expansion
of technology portfolio and capacities - Group to offer complete range of
surface geometries in the future - reference order in stainless steel
division

Göttelborn, Germany, 10 September 2014. Nanogate AG (ISIN DE000A0JKHC9), a
leading international integrated systems provider for high-performance
surfaces, intends to fully open up the market for innovative metal
coatings. In the medium term, the Group expects sales in the double-digit
million range. With this in mind, Nanogate is now launching a growth
offensive in the division of advanced metals by expanding specialist areas
and capacities. The company will therefore be constructing its own centre
of excellence for high-quality metal enhancements at the new Neunkirchen
(Saarland) site until the second quarter of 2015 and will relocate its
subsidiary Nanogate Industrial Solutions GmbH there. Within the Group,
Nanogate will in the future have an attractive technology portfolio for all
surface geometries (2D and 3D), as well as for metal applications. In
addition to systems in the energy efficiency sector, Nanogate is already
enhancing stainless steel surfaces in a reference order with a
multifunctional coating that meets the highest design requirements.

Ralf Zastrau, CEO of Nanogate AG: "Nanogate is going on the offensive in
the market for innovative metal surfaces. Based on our successes with
energy-efficiency coatings in the heating technology division, the Group
would now like to take a significant role in other applications and
substrates. We are already established as a leading provider of plastics in
the market for multifunctional high-performance surfaces, and that is also
our aim for metal applications. The Group will be covering all surface
geometries for metal coatings in the future via Nanogate Industrial
Solutions GmbH and the new subsidiary, Vogler GmbH. Nanogate is already
profiting from this overall expertise in the market for plastic surfaces
