START ABOUT TECHNOLOGY NEWS INVESTORS & PARTNERS CAREERS CONTACT About us From advanced material science to practical success ChromoGenics was established in 2003 as a natural outcome of over 20 years of research on electrochromic materials by Professor Claes-Göran Granqvist and his team at the Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University in Sweden. Today ChromoGenics has over 20 employees, most of them development and production engineers. Our facilities include a 600m² modern cleanroom environment with a pilot production line for ConverLight™ dynamic glass in sizes up to 1,5 x 4,4 m, as well as automated testing and a glass lamination laboratory. To scale up production further, we are establishing a high-capacity production plant using our unique roll-to-roll (R2R) coating process for electrochromic material. ChromoGenics has built up a strong patent portfolio covering essential materials, processes and applications in eighteen patent families, the last one to expire in 2033. Additional patents are pending. The company also has substantial know-how in the field of production technologies, strenghtened by partnerships with major manufacturers.

ConverLight™ Dynamic Glass enables designers to use more glass while still meeting the performance objectives of building energy codes and standards. ChromoGenics is showcasing the dynamic glass ConverLight™ at the Glasstec exhibition in Germany September 20-23. “We are delighted to present the smart glass ConverLight™ at the trade show in Düsseldorf,” says Thomas Almesjö, CEO at ChromoGenics. “There is a great interest for advanced materials that support sustainable buildings. Our dynamic glass enables freedom in design for creative architects and in building projects.” ConverLight is a flexible, dynamic glass solution providing effective solar protection for increased indoor comfort and energy efficiency. The windows adapt automatically or manually to daylight and solar radiation, without any external equipment interfering with the view or changing the esthetic appearance of the building façade. ChromoGenics’ unique, proprietary electrochromic technology controls optical properties, shifting transparency between lighter or darker. Energy savings come from reduced needs for air conditioning, since the surplus solar radiation can be reduced up to 90% by dynamically shading the glass. It contributes to fulfilling the requirements of environmental building certifications, such as LEED and BREEAM. Glasstec is an international trade fair that has over 1200 exhibitors and over 40 000 visitors from 87 countries. The exhibition is held every second year in Düsseldorf, Germany. Welcome to visit us in hall 11 stand A31 during the Glasstec exhibition. 2016-09-20 Visit ChromoGenics at Glasstec 2016 in Düsseldorf, Germany You are welcome to come by the stand hall11 booth A31 and meet our ChromoGenics team on September 20 -23, 2016.

The 3000 sqm production facility includes climate-stabilized cleanroom facilities, production lines for ConverLight™ glass laminates, testing facilities and a center for high-tech smart materials. Distinguished guests included Erik Brandsma, Director General of the Swedish Energy Agency, who formally inaugurated the plant, and Professor Claes-Göran Granqvist, one of the founders of ChromoGenics, who is the pioneer behind much of the research on dynamic glass. In his remarks to the audience, CEO Thomas Almesjö stressed the significance of the event: “Our new plant, based on nanomaterials research from Uppsala University in Sweden, represents the start of a whole new industry for sustainable glass solutions.” Production is now beginning in the plant to fulfill orders for Scandinavian architectural projects, and deliveries will take place during 2016. These building projects represent only a small part of the potential global demand real estate and construction companies as well as other players within the glass industry.

The award took place on Friday, May 20 at Nano Forum 2016, the fifth edition of Sweden’s largest conference on nanotechnology, advanced materials, and business opportunities, held at the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA). The award was based on the firms’ nanotech content, customers & sales, business plan, finances and scalability. The jury’s decision cited the following in granting the award to ChromoGenics: “The ability to control a window’s transparency is an excellent example of application of nanotechnology as a means for energy saving and better indoor climate. With a clear customer focus and strong IP strategy, ChromoGenics will introduce a paradigm shift to a traditional industry.” Thomas Almesjö, CEO of ChromoGenics, stressed the importance of providing the right conditions to top-level Swedish academic research for global commercialization: “ChromoGenics, based on leading research at the Ångström Laboratory at the University of Uppsala, is now taking its technology to the next phase, industrial production and commercialization. Meeting worldwide demand for dynamic glass is not just about perfecting the right technology, but also developing the right business model to take advantage of technical advances. At ChromoGenics we are now launching our ConverLight™ product in a way that takes advantage of existing supply chains and makes them more efficient.” ConverLight is a flexible, dynamic glass solution providing effective solar protection for increased indoor comfort and energy efficiency.

The Nordbygg construction fair was held April 5-8 in Stockholm, Sweden. The trade fair had over 900 exhibitors from the construction and real estate sectors and received about 48,000 visitors this year. During four exciting days the company exhibited products and services, held interesting meetings and offered seminars. Smart glass seminars by ChromoGenics at the Glazing Contractors’ standChromoGenics held two seminars on Tuesday at the Glazing Contractors’ stand. The sessions pulled in many visitors, who were very curious about the new nanotechnology that ChromoGenics is using. “As we have a unique solution for dynamic glass, this was a good opportunity for us to go into details about how it can increase comfort in different environments, while reducing energy consumption,” says Greger Gregard, head of development at ChromoGenics. “Our dynamic glass combines improved comfort with increased energy efficiency, and that is the unique point about our technology. Besides being able to explain our technology, the Nordbygg fair gave us some very good opportunities to network with partners and colleagues. We have already received a very positive response on our seminars and our participation there.” 2016-04-22 ChromoGenics ABUllforsgatan 15SE-75228Uppsala, Swedeninfo@chromogenics.com+46 (18) 430 04 30Legal Notice
