Through this approach, The Nano Company positions itself as a credible partner that bridges advanced nanoscience with prac-tical, market-ready solutions, delivered through its specialized subsidiaries.
Building from the Ground Up
The Nano Company began with a clear and deliberate vi-sion: to build a robust nano-materials industry rooted in the UAE. Rather than simply importing finished technolo-gies, the strategy focused on bringing global innovations to the region for further development, advanced in-tegration, and ultimately, local manufacturing.
At the heart of this vision stood its four founders, Anwar Nusseibeh, Anis Machtoub, Mahmoud Al Ayass, and Hani Hijazi, who brought together their collective expertise in graphene research, advanced antimicrobial coatings, chemistry, and commercial strategy.
United by a shared belief in technology’s abili-ty to create real societal value, they viewed nanomaterials not as abstract science, but as practical tools capable of improving living environments and strengthening critical sectors.
The idea took shape when Anwar and Hani, deeply invested in graphene applications, met Anis and Mahmoud, who were focused on advancing nano-coating technologies. Recognizing their shared commitment to nanotechnology, a future industry they were each working to establish, they saw immediate synergies.
This collaboration gave birth to The Nano Company, an entity dedicated to advancing emerging nanotechnologies, encompassing both graphene and nano-coatings, while leaving space to expand into broader innovations.
As the idea crystallized, a defining realization emerged. The region relied heavily on imported nanotechnologies, leaving a gap in local capability and ownership. Rather than accept this limitation, the founders built a multi-faceted structure to localize the entire value chain.
They strategically combined NanoCarbonX, which was focused on bringing high-quality, low-cost graphene production to the UAE, with Greenify, a regional distributor of advanced nano-coatings, and Eon Coatings, a specialized applicator of nanotechnology in real-world settings.
This integration transformed the collective into a launchpad for global innovation rooted in local production and application, closely aligned with the nation’s ambition to build a knowledge-based economy.
Over time, this commitment translated into measurable credibility. The Nano Company secured technical validations and memorandums of understanding with institutions such as UAE University, marking important milestones in its journey.
These partnerships reinforced the company’s standing as a trusted collaborator for government and industry stakeholders, and signaled its growing role in shaping the future of nanotechnology in the UAE.
