About NTI Nanofilm
Nanofilm Technologies International Limited (NTI Nanofilm) is a publicly listed provider (SGX-ST) of surface engineering and nanotechnology. The company offers PVD thin-film coating services for tribological, decorative, medical, optical, electrically functional and repelling surface properties (NTI Finish, Protect, Bio, Repel, Control, Clarity) as well as decoating (NTI Renew). In addition, NTI develops and builds vacuum coating systems as batch, load-lock and inline systems (Dream, Vault, Titan). Another business area is micro-optics manufacturing of microlens arrays, Fresnel, freeform and flexible optics as OEM and ODM service. With the Sydrogen brand, NTI covers hydrogen technologies, including coatings for PEM, AEM and solid oxide cells, metallic bipolar plates as well as complete stacks and generators. Target industries are automotive, consumer electronics, energy, life science, optics, semiconductor and toolmaking.
