OCSiAl is the world’s largest producer of graphene nanotubes. In addition to the synthesis of nanotubes themselves, we create industry-friendly technologies for their use in various materials.
Our team consists of more than 500 employees located in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
OCSiAl’s mission is to improve specific properties of all base materials,* making the world a better place for all living beings.
We are pursuing this mission by developing universal nanotube solutions and introducing them into the manufacturing industry. This is leading to the creation of a new generation of nanoaugmented materials and end products, whose previously unobtainable properties will become the standard for consumer expectations.
Enhancing the specific properties of materials could radically reduce their “price per property.” Less actual material would be needed to create more effective products. This fundamental shift is expected to play a crucial role in the necessary reduction of carbon emissions, helping to halt the degradation of our biosphere and allowing people throughout the world to raise their standard of living and reap the benefits of modern civilization.
The name OCSiAl consists of the symbols of four chemical elements. Three of them are the most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust: oxygen (O), silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al).
The fourth element, carbon (C), is a special element, fundamental to life and nanotechnologies. It is predicted to change the face of modern-day technology in the very near future.
We believe that carbon nanomaterials – graphene nanotubes and graphene sheets – will form the core of future changes.
OCSiAl’s history began in 2009 with the question “Is it possible to create an industrial technology for synthesizing graphene nanotubes scalable to hundreds of thousands of tonnes per year, and to significantly reduce the price paid by consumers by 100 times?”
In 2010, the OCSiAl company in Luxembourg was established to overcome this challenge.
Headquartered in Luxembourg, the company is represented in Europe, the USA, China (Shenzhen and Shanghai), Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Mexico, Canada and Serbia.
The research units (TUBALL CENTERs) of the company are located in Asia and Europe.
OCSiAl has more than of 500 employees worldwide.
