"Italy is one of key markets in Europe when it comes to highly specialized industries with clear potential in adapting their production for use of ALD techniques. It is an immense pleasure for me to welcome Nordtest srl as the latest member of the global network of Picosun Partners," says Juhana Kostamo, Managing Director of Picosun Oy.

"We at Nordtest strongly believe that the main trends in technology and industry in the coming years will be best served through material modifications and improvement as a central milestone in these processes. Atomic Layer Deposition has specific features and advantages which make it preferable to other, more established processes," says Dr Maurizio Bruni, Managing Director of Nordtest.

"In western industrialized countries large amount of research, technical development, small scale and high added value production is taking place and more will grow in the coming years. We are specifically looking to this type of customers as our most promising marketplace for Picosun products in Italy," Dr Bruni adds.

Nordtest has its offices and laboratories at the small town of Serravalle Scrivia, strategically located along the A7 motorway connecting Genoa and Milano, serving the industrial heartland of Northern Italy. Nordtest has attended the needs of scientific institutions and high tech industries in Italy since 1989.
