OCSiAl, a Luxembourg-based deep-tech company and the global leader in graphene nanotube
technologies, has announced the signing of a land lease, launching the development of its flagship
graphene nanotube production center in Differdange, Luxembourg, that will become the world’s
largest graphene nanotube production facility, notes a press release from the company.
Graphene nanotubes guarantee stable and uniform conductivity even at 0.01 wt.%. As a result,
producers gain enhanced safety and prolonged durability of coatings, and contribute to lower CO2
emissions.
“This major investment in graphene nanotubes demonstrates investors’ confidence in our ecosystem
and highlights the potential of our business parks to host high-tech industrial projects,” said Lex
Delles, Minister of the Economy, SME, Energy & Tourism.
Founded in Luxembourg in 2010, OCSiAl has become the world’s largest producer of graphene
nanotubes, a next-generation material that offers exceptional performance to a multitude of
products used in everyday life. OCSiAl’s nanotubes, currently produced only in Serbia, where the
company is increasing production capacity fourfold, are already used in more than 10% of
smartphones sold today and in over one million electric vehicles worldwide.
“Graphene nanotubes can improve over half of the materials we use every day, from safer batteries
to longer-lasting tires and ultralight protective equipment,” said Alain Kinsch, a member of the
OCSiAl Board of Directors.
With a planned investment of $300 million and creation of over 300 new jobs, the facility, to be
launched in stages from 2028 to 2030, will strengthen Europe’s role in the global advanced materials
value chain and serve as a development hub for the next generation of engineers and scientists.
