mateligent nititec GmbH is founded
mateligent GmbH founds the second subsidiary of mateligent together with the new partner Yannik Goergen.
mateligent works on system made of smart materials.
“The processes for manufacturing systems from nickel-titanium alloys (NiTi) differ significantly from those of EAP technology, electroactive polymers. With mateligent iDEAS, we have already won the team of specialists on the electroactive polymers side.
For the various possibilities of nickel-titanium alloys, especially systems based on the technology, it makes strategic sense to focus on these projects with a dedicated team.
The risk management and the possibility in the subsidiaries to open up to potential specialized partners makes this step sensible”, explain the shareholders of mateligent GmbH, Prof. Paul Motzki, Prof. Stefan Seelecke and Jens Preetz.
“With Yannik Goergen, who plans to complete his doctorate in 2022, we have one of the experts in the country as a future CTO and managing director on board as a shareholder. Long-term and sustainable planning are enormously important to us.” explains Managing Director Jens Preetz
Systems made of nickel-titanium alloys are used for actuators, valves or for heat-cooling systems analogous to heat pumps in so-called elastocalorics.
nititec stands for nickel-titanium technologies.
