Nanogate subsidiary GfO AG will in future be supplying touchpads with scratchproof enhancement to a German luxury car manufacturer. They will be located in the central console near the gear lever and will make it easier to operate the vehicle, e.g. the navigation device. The coating uses a multifunctional Sicralan enhancement for the capacitive sensor surface. The new generation of vehicles will be launched on the market in summer 2015. Michael Jung, COO of Nanogate AG explains: "Nanogate is opening up a new area of application, so confirming its role as an innovation partner for international Groups. Our multifunctional enhancement using Nglaze technology protects the high-quality design surface of the touchpad and ensures that the car retains its value. The touchpad improves the overall ease and convenience of the driving experience. The cumulative order volume in the seven-digit euro range reinforces our strong market position in innovative surface systems for international car manufacturers. The new application is the starting point for a range of new technologies and systems that we will be introducing in future. Nanogate will again be spending significantly on investment and processes in order to expand its product portfolio and to further open up the two strategic growth fields of advanced metals and advanced polymers."
