Since it was founded in 1999 as a scientific start-up, Nanogate has developed into an international technology company. Today, more than 1,800 people work in production facilities on both sides of the Atlantic. An experienced management team including the company founder Ralf Zastrau is committed to ensuring that Nanogate successfully implements its corporate vision in order to be a reliable, competent partner for customers, investors and shareholders together with all its employees.
“For us "Reinventing the Possible" means always looking forward, looking to find solutions where others could not, never being satisfied with status quo and knowing that we can make it better, stronger, lighter, and more intuitive. Reinventing the possible is what pushes us individually and collectively to be better every day. This combination of passion, technological know-how and capacity, and global coverage truly puts Nanogate in a unique and exceptional position on the market."
Ralf Zastrau is responsible for strategy, company development as well as company communication and equity interests in companies. He has been with the company as managing director since 1999, and has driven its path and transformation from a start-up to a global player.
“Dynamic and fast-growing companies like Nanogate are demanding. Their efficient management requires modern finance departments, with high-performance infrastructures. As part of our on-going NXI program, we are setting priorities accordingly and are reinforcing both our IT systems and our teams. All of this improves the quality, scope and depth of our key business figures. Evaluations and analysis within controlling can be performed and communicated in a more timely and relevant manner. As a result, our shareholders and business partners will also benefit from continuously improved investor relations work.“
Götz Gollan is responsible for the areas of finance, controlling, risk, tax and legal.
