This acquisition reaffirms NTI Nanofilm’s commitment to global growth, creating new opportunities for customers, employees, and shareholders.

“As we advance our vision of becoming a global leader in nanotechnology, the acquisition of EuropCoating Group marks a pivotal step in expanding our foothold in Europe.
