OCSiAl, a leader in graphene nanotube technology, has opened its first European production facility. The facility, located in Serbia, will produce Tuballl nanotubes and nanotube-based products, marking a significant step forward in integrating nanomaterials into various industries. More than 1,500 companies worldwide, including coatings and composites manufacturers for automotive and electronics, constr,uction and packaging, petrochemical and printing industries already use graphene nanotubes in their production lines.
“This facility’s strategic location in Serbia will enhance the supply of cutting-edge nanotube solutions across Europe, Asia and the U.S.,” says Konstantin Notman, OCSiAl Group CEO. “The facility will produce 60 tonnes of graphene nanotubes per year, with plans to double production by launching a second synthesis unit within the next year.”
The 10,000-square-meter facility in Serbia includes a graphene nanotube synthesis unit, production lines for nanotube-based products, a research center and quality control labs. Over the past five years, sales of nanotube concentrates have tripled, driven by rising demand. To support this growth, the facility includes a production line delivering nanotube concentrates with a capacity of up to 200 tonnes, which is enough to enhance up to 100,000 tonnes of various polymers for conductive and enhanced composites and coatings.
To meet growing demand, OCSiAl operates 10 licensed production partners and 25 distributors in more than 50 countries. The company’s strategic plans are focused on further expansion of production across the globe, including the construction of a production facility in Luxembourg as the next step.
