This January, twelve years after Nanoscribe’s foundation, the award-winning company moved into its new headquarters in the ZEISS Innovation Hub @KIT. Now all laboratories are ready for operation and production has been ramped up. ZEISS and KIT have played a major role for the young company. Nanoscribe is a spin-off of the KIT, whose research and technology ecosystem has strengthened the company as a pioneer and innovator in 3D Microfabrication. And ZEISS has supported and promoted the foundation of the company and subsequently acquired a substantial stake of Nanoscribe.
Sadly, the official inauguration ceremony had to be postponed in order to enforce the necessary measures to contain the COVID-19 infections. Despite this, Nanoscribe’s facilities and the workforce under this roof are fully operational.
Developing next generation microfabrication
The new headquarters houses facilities to develop and produce the next generation of industrial microfabrication equipment. Within more than 4,200 m² net floor space, the premises are equipped with high-tech laboratories, modern production and office areas as well as the Microfabrication Experience Center for the growing company of more than 70 employees and its wide customer base. High-tech chemistry and physics laboratories have been designed and set up to provide an optimal R&D workspace with best vibration isolation, excellent temperature and humidity stability.
