Nanogate Wins 100 Million Dollar Contract - Breakthrough in Market for Stainless Steel Replacement Technology

- Biggest order in company history with a volume of up to USD 100 million and a term of approximately eight years

- Components will be delivered to an international leading US appliances manufacturer

- Significant boost in growth for N-Metals(R) Design in industrial business

Göttelborn, Germany, June 26, 2018. Nanogate SE, a leading global specialist for design-oriented high-tech surfaces and components, has received the largest order of its company history. With a sales volume of up to USD 100 million, the project is Nanogate's breakthrough into the market of stainless steel replacement technology. The applications represent the second pillar - next to the existing chrome replacement solutions - of the N-Metals(R) Design brand (metallization of plastics).

Nanogate will deliver the components for kitchen appliances to a renowned US manufacturer starting in 2019. The process involves the use of heat-resistant polymers, which is metallized with a stainless steel look in an integrated process developed by Nanogate. The technology is based on innovative forming processes and multifunctional enhancement. Included in this are a number of surface options, such as easy-to-clean or anti-fingerprint, with the possible integration of additional functions. The active marketing of the new application, which was developed by the Nanogate center of excellence in the USA, began at the beginning of this year. Nanogate is thus expanding its N-Metals(R) Design portfolio for plastic metallization by a second pillar. In addition to replacing chrome and stainless steel, the group is currently developing a third solution to replace metal with innovative surface technologies.

Ralf Zastrau, CEO of Nanogate SE, says, 'The multimillion-dollar order for stainless steel replacement technology confirms our innovative strength and our good strategic alignment. With the biggest project of our company history, Nanogate is improving its market position in industrial business and balancing out its product portfolio. Innovative polymers as replacements for metals offer considerable cost and design advantages. Therefore, in addition to the order, we are seeing significant interest in stainless steel replacement technology, especially for use in the kitchen or bath. We intend to profit from the global market volume in at least the triple-digit million range.'
