Innovnano’s

Established in 2009, we originate from, and are part of, CUF - the largest chemical company in Portugal. Certified by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) to ISO 9001 standards, we are committed to meeting market demands for top quality products and production processes. And with a new, purpose-built manufacturing technology facility in Coimbra, Portugal, we have a strong technological platform to enable materials production and processing on a large scale.

Our unique Emulsion Detonation Synthesis technology is perfectly suited to the industrial-scale production of complex technical ceramic powders and the site capacity of up to 1000 tpa ensures a reliable source of high quality nanostructured ceramic powders for advanced materials applications.

Furthermore our EDS process uses feedstock precursors from sustainable sources, ensuring a reliable and economical continuity of supply, and supporting the growth of the nanotechnology industry. 

Our Ethos

Innovnano mirrors the corporate ethos of our parent company - Innovation, Competence and Personal Development - qualities we deem central to the success of our business. We reflect this philosophy in our attitude towards our partners, our personnel and, most importantly, our clients. 

Our Vision

Enabling NANO to think BIG. We know that nanostructured zirconia powders are the future of high performance, highly advanced ceramic applications. With our technology and dedicated in-house expertise we want to maximise their potential, to explore and develop properties for a wider range of cutting-edge, innovative applications. 

Our Promise

To deliver high quality nanostructured ceramic powders in association with a dependable, friendly and customer-orientated service. 

Our Production Facility

We have invested in a high-tech, purpose-built facility for production of our nanostructured powders. Our European production centre is based in a dedicated technology park in Coimbra (Portugal), and has been built with a modular design, to facilitate future expansion and meet the rapidly growing demand for high performance materials.

At the new facility, we have the capacity and expertise to rapidly up-scale nanostructured powder production, from small quantities needed in R&D phases, to much larger industrial quantities, up to 1000 tonnes per annum, to support the entire project life-cycle of our customers.

Our Emulsion Detonation Synthesis (EDS) technology has been fully automated in the production suite, and along with stringent quality control processes, ensures we can produce nanostructured powders with extremely high batch-to-batch consistency.
