Nanosol was founded in 1995 as a spin-off of the INM, Institute for New Materials at the University of Saarbrücken. Nanosol® was the first company worldwide in analytics and research to develop and produce coatings for the inner and outer surfaces of needles and tubes with nanocomposites. Since then, Nanosol® has successfully applied these innovative coating systems to components used in diagnostic laboratory equipment.
In 2000, the Nanosol was relocated to its current location in Balzers, Principality of Liechtenstein, where its sister company, Filtrop AG, is also located.
In 2008, a further, very important strategic step was taken by setting up its own production facility for high-quality needles, after the company had already sold these products for 20 years.
Today Nanosol AG is one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality needles and supplies customers worldwide.
The know-how is unique thanks to in-house production of both the mechanical components and the coating.
Core competence
Our core competence is the production of precision mechanical components, mainly hollow needles made of stainless steel, as well as the wet-chemical coating of surfaces using novel materials and technologies according to customer-specific requirements. We use high-quality stainless steels with the finest surface quality for the manufacturing of precision mechanical components such as needles. For the coating we mainly use coating materials which are produced and applied with nanotechnology and the sol-gel process.
