We now face the demand that surpasses even our optimistic forecasts – we plan to increase production by 10 times to fill all the current orders. Luckily our technology is easily scalable ”.
Grigory also made a point of exceptional importance of Asian markets for OCSiAl business considering them ultra-promising and dynamic. “ As China and Korea are experiencing phenomenal growth we see tremendous potential for our products here. We are constantly carrying out R&D works, and designing new formulations to offer our Asian partners both unquestionable quality and economic feasibility of Tuball branded SWCNT. And we invite everybody, who is interested in nanotube technology, to visit our booths at upcoming exhibitions CNIBF and China Composites ”.
