The idea behind the Bactiguard® technology originates from a Swedish invention by the great pioneer Gustaf Dalén. He was awarded the Nobel Price in physics 1912 and the man behind the successful AGA lighthouse system and the AGA cooker. In the process of developing lighthouses, he solved the critical task of applying thin layers of metals on glass. Gustaf Daléns pupil Axel Bergström then refined the coating technology. He developed a chemical technique for coating non-conductive materials with thin layers of metals. Axel Bergström, in his turn, transferred the knowledge about metal coating technology to his student, the Swedish inventor behind the Bactiguard® coating.
