Europlasma's Managing Director Filip Legein comments: "as the true pioneer in nanocoating technology, we are happy to see that 15 years of intensive R&D by the Europlasma team has resulted in a growing number of markets and applications, such as air filtration products, functional textiles, medical devices, and now handheld electronics. In handheld electronic devices it has become clear that the end customer is willing to pay for additional protection against liquid damage. It will be interesting to see how fast the retail market will drive the manufacturers to adopt the technology on a wider scale. This has created a steep growth in demand which Europlasma is able to meet with a reliable technology platform, running on industrial scale of equipment."
Europlasma is expecting to announce new retail partnerships for handheld electronic devices in Europe and other regions soon. If you are a mobile operator, retailer or mobile distributor interested in our patented and patent pending Nanofics nanocoating technology, please contact our licensees directly through their websites.
