OCSiAl plans to create a state-of-the-art nanotechnology hub to the public in Luxembourg. The Luxembourg company intends to attract high-tech talent in Luxembourg and will contribute to the creation of 325 job opportunities in various career fields, including engineers, technicians, general workers, HR, line operators, and scientists.
Plans for Industrial Scale Production
The Luxembourg-based company which holds a unique patented technology for its industrial-scale production plans to establish the Luxembourg Graphene Nanotube Center in Differdange, in 2024.
OCSiAl is confident that the project, which represents the world's largest
graphene nanotube synthesis and R&D facility, has the potential to give Luxembourg a significant boost to become a leading European nanotechnology hub.
The eco-compatible, planet-friendly centre will be designed with a high-efficiency, ever-evolving water-saving system and with a conscious use of energy resources. The new facility will aim to protect and develop the biodiversity of the area and the natural environment of animals and wildlife.
Sharing Knowledge on Graphene Nanotube Solutions
OCSiAl answered several questions from interested citizens who were able to familiarise themselves with nanotechnology and the practical graphene nanotube solutions that OCSiAl is developing for electrochemical energy sources, elastomers, paints and coatings, composites, and plastics.
Konstantin Notman, CEO of OCSiAl, said, "
This project represents a major step for OCSiAl and the whole team in our production development, and will enhance our efforts in improving everyday life, whether it be transportation, construction, protection or consumer products”.
