Nanogate AG: Growth offensive on innovative metal coatings - establishment of a centre of excellence for the advanced metals division - Seite 2

under the Nglaze brand. Our growth strategy Phase5 is therefore having an
ever greater effect: first the takeover of the surface specialist Vogler,
and now the offensive in metal applications together with the announced
centre of excellence. Both are cornerstones for achieving our sales target
of EUR 100 million in the medium term and increasing profitability."

New coating systems shortly before market launch
Nanogate already has a strong sales basis in the division of advanced
metals (high-quality metal coatings) thanks to the high demand for
energy-efficiency coatings for heat exchangers in heating systems. The
Group exceeded the sales mark of over a million euros last year and is
continuously expanding its market position in the quality segment. Use of
Nanogate-Technologie in other heating components and metal applications is
now also planned.

Reference order for high-quality stainless steel enhancement
The company now intends to extensively open up the market for metal
enhancements. New systems for aluminium and stainless steel, for example,
are about to be launched on the market. The company has already received a
prestigious order: Nanogate is supplying a well-known bathroom products
manufacturer with a multifunctional stainless steel coating. The
enhancement, which meets the highest design requirements, is scratchproof,
easy to clean, chemically resistant and offers anti-fingerprint protection.
The order includes coating high-quality products for demanding private
customers and commercial use (for use in hotels, for example).

Centre of excellence to be established at new site in Neunkirchen
As announced, the centre of excellence is intended to integrate as far as
possible; application development, sales and production. Capacities will
also be significantly increased at the same time. Nanogate Industrial
Solutions GmbH will therefore be relocated to a new site in Neunkirchen
(Saarland, about 15 kilometres from the previous Nanogate headquarters).
"The town of Neunkirchen offers our new site very good conditions. We will
begin with 30 jobs, creating at least another 20 in the future. The Group
is financially equipped for the necessary investment which will pay off
within a few years", added Michael Jung, Member of the Management Board at
Nanogate AG.
