Bosch is a global leader in measuring device miniaturization for application-specific industrial use cases and smart analyzers. We anticipate that within the next seven years, NMR technology will be prevalent in industrial environments such as manufacturing facilities, mobile labs, shipping vessels, trucks, cars, and phones. We have short-, medium-, and long-term commercial objectives and we believe that working with Nanalysis is a win-win opportunity to take miniaturized application-specific products to market under the Bosch brand."
Sean Krakiwsky, founder and CEO of Nanalysis Scientific added, "Working with a global leader such as Bosch is a key step in the execution of our industrial applications growth strategy. We are driving the "appification" of NMR technology in Industry 4.0 environments using our leading permanent magnet based compact NMR technology, in addition to industrial optimization technologies such as AI and IoT. The Bosch partnership has the potential to dramatically expand our market opportunity. We are eager to work with Dr. Krapf's team and anticipate continued success for our products, enhanced reach through this partnership, and a greatly accelerated expansion of the global NMR market."
