Altus Group and its sister company Danutek, renowned suppliers of capital equipment and service support to the electronics manufacturing sector, have announced their new partnership with actnano, a global provider of surface protection technologies. This collaboration aims to bring actnano’s cutting-edge Advanced NanoGUARD (ANG) coatings and other functional materials including permanent anti-fog, lubricants, and sealants to a broader audience across Europe.
actnano is at the forefront of coatings technology, providing fluorine-free, thin-film coatings that offer exceptional protection against water damage and harsh environmental conditions. Their innovative solutions, which require no masking or curing ovens, significantly reduce the capital expenditure, floor space, and energy consumption associated with traditional coating methods.
Joe Booth, CEO of Altus Group, said: “actnano exemplifies the ideal partner for Altus and Danutek in our regions. Their approach, deep market understanding, and clear value proposition are truly impressive. Their unique product addresses critical pain points with a quantifiable ROI, making it highly attractive to customers. actnano’s proven track record of securing business with major global brands and their strong references speak volumes. Initially, the concept of no masking and no curing ovens seemed almost too good to be true. However, their Munich lab, designed to support customers through technical validation, quickly demonstrated that this technology is just as ground-breaking in practice as it is in theory. actnano’s innovation is not just exciting; it’s revolutionizing the industry.”
“actnano is proud to work with Altus and Danutek, whose team has consistently earned customer trust by introducing cutting-edge technologies like Koh Young’s 3D AOI and LPKF’s laser depaneling to the European market. Their expertise in this area will make them a valued partner as we continue to expand across the region,” said Sruti Balasubramanian, VP of Product Development at actnano.
Nic Johansen, actnano Director of Sales, commented, “Altus and Danutek excel in the regions they operate in, including their support for leading dispensing processes like PVA and Mycronic—making them a great match for us. This partnership accelerates our ongoing efforts across Europe with OEMs and manufacturers and extends our reach and local support, especially in the UK and Eastern Europe, key areas for nearshoring and reshoring. Together, we’re dedicated to driving the industry forward with innovative solutions, expert guidance, and a primary focus on customer success. The best is yet to come.”
actnano’s technology is particularly noteworthy due to its ability to simplify the application process by eliminating the need for masking and curing ovens. This innovation helps avoid common issues such as cracking and bubbling, which are prevalent with traditional methods. Furthermore, by reducing the need for extensive machine investment and floor space, and decreasing energy consumption over the product lifecycle, actnano provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for electronics manufacturers.
Their high protection standards offer up to IPx8 protection levels, applicable to full PCBA including connectors, antennas, LEDs, and high-heat generating components, while ensuring environmental safety with fluorine-free coatings.
