Our Company
“NanoCraft was born out of a fascinating piece of scientific history. The dream of the physicists Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer, now honoured with the Nobel Prize, was to penetrate directly into the world of quantum physics by means of mechanical actuators. In 1981, for example, they developed the scanning tunneling microscope in the IBM research laboratory near Zurich. In this way, they created an important foundation stone for nanotechnology, which is now developing rapidly. Dr. Sabri Akari was a co-developer of the chemical force microscopy CFM derived from scanning tunneling microscopy. Based on this foundation, the company NanoCraft was established in 2001 as a spin-off of the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces Research Golm (MPI-KGF) at the Engen Innovation Centre”.

Dear Visitors,
On behalf of NanoCraftCoating we welcome you on our homepage.
In an economic environment in which the technological head start is becoming crucial in deciding the success of whole the company, the efficient and rapid conversion of research results is becoming more important than ever. Understanding and analyzing surface processes on the nano- and µ-scale is most essential for the success in the development of novel surface systems. Particularly the development of efficient coating systems, nano- and biotechnological products can be clearly accelerated.
Qualified interdisciplinary skilled scientists with 18-years experience are discussing with the users their surface related problems. Short as well as long term projects can be initiated with us. As our partner, you get the maximum use from experience at lowest costs and risks. NanoCraft with its extensive Nano-Know-How, offers you a range of advanced analytical tools with qualified scientific supervision in the framework of mission oriented research. Our team is working on your problmes in a well equipped laboratory. You will get the optimum of information and support even after closure of the project.
A large number of first class companies from different industrial branches are already working with us and use the obtained information for their own development with high satisfaction.
Become our partner to get the largest benefit of our technical experience in this important field.

NanoCraft was established in 2001 as a spin-off of the Max Planck Institute for Colloid and Interfacial Research Golm (MPI-KGF) at the Engen Innovation Centre. The core competence of NanoCraft is the implementation of research and development projects in the fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology and surface technology. The uniqueness of the analytical techniques offered, the high level of surface expertise and the speed, flexibility and innovation in the implementation of research projects have enabled the successful development of new types of coatings to customer specifications. Several medium-sized and large German and international companies listed on the stock exchange have been won as regular customers.
In 2003, NanoCraft received the Innovation Award of the State of Baden Württemberg for the development of chemical force microscopy. In 2004, NanoCraft was awarded the international Euregio Bodensee Technology Prize.
