Nanogate AG: Successful integration of Vogler GmbH

Metals expertise enhanced - Preparations for production launch of a first
major joint project largely complete - Nanogate pursues course of
investment in view of strong demand and possible new technologies

Göttelborn, Germany, 5 February 2015. Nanogate AG (ISIN DE000A0JKHC9), a
leading international integrated systems provider for high-performance
surfaces, has integrated its new subsidiary Vogler GmbH into the overall
Group more quickly than planned. The most important milestones include the
enhancement of expertise in the area of high-quality metal coatings at
Vogler. The subsidiary, acquired in 2014, is therefore to begin production
soon for a first joint project, the preparations for which have largely
been completed. In view of the strong demand in the two strategic growth
areas of advanced metals and advanced polymers, as well as the growing
range of new technologies, Nanogate will continue its course of investment.

Ralf Zastrau, CEO of Nanogate AG, commented: "During its integration, our
new subsidiary, Vogler, expanded its applications portfolio for
high-quality metal coatings focusing on flat and curved applications. These
additional expertise and capacities will be of significant benefit to
Nanogate. In addition, Nanogate is continuously optimising Vogler's
existing product and order portfolio to increase profitability over the
medium term. Vogler is thereby proving to be an important component for the
Group as a whole in opening up the strategic growth areas of advanced
metals and advanced polymers. We are seeing persistent, significant
interest in our systems across the Group in both target segments. At the
same time, the market range of complementary technologies that enable us to
make new applications available to our customers is growing. In order to
exploit these additional sales and earnings opportunities, Nanogate will
continue its comprehensive course of investment in the 2015 financial year
and make selective acquisitions of new technologies. The Group will look at
various options for financing the planned investments as well as for the
expense involved in opening up new markets."
