TactoTek, the leading developer of injection molded structural electronics (IMSE) solutions, announced that Nanogate, a global specialist for design-oriented high-tech surfaces and components, will promote and manufacture IMSE solutions as a TactoTek IMSE licensee.
Technology transfer is underway, and Nanogate expects to be IMSE ready for mass production by the end of 2019. Nanogate currently has 10 factories: six in Germany, and one in each of Austria, Slovakia, the Netherlands and Ohio. Nanogate’s first IMSE manufacturing facility is in Austria, where Nanogate has expertise in manufacturing IML parts for automotive customers.
Nanogate adds value for their customers with intelligent surfaces for several markets, including automotive, home appliances, consumer electronics, aviation and medical. The company has a comprehensive portfolio of surface technologies, particularly in metallization using physical vapor deposition processes.
“Across the markets that we serve we have a strong and growing demand for integrating electronic functions with a wide variety of high-quality cosmetic surfaces,” said Ralf Zastrau, CEO of Nanogate. “The partnership with TactoTek strengthens our comprehensive expertise from design to mass production delivery of intelligent surfaces—solutions that combine beautiful cosmetics with sophisticated electronic functions.”
Licensing includes rights to TactoTek intellectual property including patents, trade secrets and know-how, and hands-on technology transfer.
“Nanogate is an established system provider for innovative and premier surfaces for several markets, including automotive, home appliances, and industrial segments,” said Jussi Harvela, TactoTek CEO. “TactoTek’s licensing model makes us an innovation partner for companies seeking to deliver more value for their customers; it also responds directly to OEM’s preference to work with IMSE suppliers with whom they have established relationships.”
