ARENDAL, NO / SHERBROOKE, QC. 17 April 2024 - Tekna (OSE: TEKNA), a world-leading provider of advanced materials solutions to industry, is pleased to announce that it has received an order for nano nickel material for production of multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). This is the first revenue-generating order in Tekna’s Microelectronics business line.

The customer is a leading producer of MLCC devices, which are critical components in most of the fast-growing electronic applications, including mobile phones, wearable devices such as smartwatches and health monitoring, as well as automotive electronics. The MLCC global market[1] could reach an estimated 23B$ by year-end 2024 and over 60B$ by 2030.

This order is an important step for Tekna towards obtaining approval within an actual MLCC production environment. Tekna's nano nickel powder will be introduced into the customer's factory and assessed for its ability to meet the customer's product quality and manufacturing requirements.

This is the first revenue-generating order for our nano nickel material. It is a significant milestone as we are now bringing our nano nickel material from the customer's laboratory to the production floor. While the order quantity is small we consider this to be an important step towards the commercialization of our MLCC offering,” says Luc Dionne, CEO of Tekna Holding ASA.

Tekna develops and produces various grades and sizes of nano nickel aimed at providing cutting-edge solutions for a wide range of MLCC devices. The material to be delivered with this order is part of Tekna's nano nickel product portfolio.
