Nanomakers Origins
1985
Early research on nanopowders of silicon carbide started at CEA (French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies).
2003
Establishment of a pre-industrial pilot (1 kg / h ) unit to produce and test in applications.
2007
In regards to the growing interest from French and international industries , CEA accepts setting swarming laser pyrolysis technology developed therein; Nanomakers project was born.
2008 / 2009
The project Nanomakers is a first-time winner in the national competition of the Ministry of Research and Higher "Emergence" Studies and the following year " Design & Development".
2010
The Nanomakers project structures into a S.A. (Limited Company) and sign its first contract to supply nanopowders samples to a Japanese industrial in the semiconductor industry.
Then in mid-2010, Nanomakers Japan was established.
2011
Nanomakers completes its first round for funds and launched the implementation of the Rambouillet production site for a 100 tonnes per year capacity.
Signed an R & D agreement with AIR LIQUIDE
2012 - January
In January , commissioning of the first line of industrial production in Rambouillet with a capacity of 10 tons per year. Nanomakers is able to provide, from launch, an extensive offer including SiC nanopowders and Si nanopowders with carbon coating.
Applying patent of SiΩC dedicated to battery applications.
Signing of a distribution agreement with Mitsui Busan Electronics (MBEL).
2013
Extension of the products range
Nanomakers consolidates several partnerships with industrial companies.
2014
Signing the first commercial contract with a worldwide producer of high performance seals for manufacturing equipments of semiconductors
2015
Turnover multiplied by 1.8
Delivering samples to two new customers, world leaders of Lithium-ion batteries
2016
Turnover multiplied by 2.3
Nanomakers is preparing for certification ISO 9001.
2017
In order to follow the increase of customer orders,
> the reactor's capacity is increased by twice.
> the transfer and packaging system is put in service.
Nanomakers obtain certificat ISO 9001:2015.
