Who are we?
NAPA TECHNOLOGIES is a start-up from NILAB, founded in 2014 by three former managers of the Crystals and Detectors business of Saint Gobain, the world leader in materials for scintillation and nuclear detection. We are based at Archamps Technopole (Haute Savoie, FRANCE) on the French-Swiss border near Geneva.
We share a 2 000 m² plant with industrial silicon wafer manufacturer Sil’tronix Silicon Technologies.
NAPA TECHNOLOGIES developed from the start innovative surface nano-patterning technologies to improve the performance of scintillators and nuclear detectors based on an original idea from our partner CERN.
We can now deploy our technologies in particular to the field of optical detection, biological analysis and sensing.
The team includes 10 highly skilled staff, mostly qualified engineers and PhDs.
It is supported by the NILAB (Nano Imprint Laboratory), a technology platform that brings together first class academic and industrial partners. Thus, in addition to its internal resources, NAPA can call upon wide scientific and technological resources to assess your requirements and best respond to your specifications.
