Through this partnership, FOM Technologies’ FOM photonR2R, precision slot-die coater, will integrate with Xenocs’ state-of-the-art X-ray instrumentation to enable seamless in situ characterization of thin films—an essential step in optimizing processes for batteries, solar cells, membranes, printed electronics, and more. Together, we aim to bridge the gap between deposition and analysis, empowering researchers to gain faster insights into film morphology, uniformity, and internal structure during the coating process.

“This collaboration is rooted in a shared mission to accelerate scientific discovery. Combining our scalable coating solutions with Xenocs’ world-class analytical instruments creates new opportunities for researchers to characterize and refine their materials in real time, ultimately speeding up the innovation cycle.” – Michael Stadi, Group CEO of FOM Technologies.

We are excited about the collaboration with FOM Technologies and look forward to jointly providing our customers with a platform for the development and in situ characterization of materials for energy storage, renewable energy, and much more.Peter Høghøj CEO of Xenocs.

As both companies continue to expand globally, with Xenocs and FOM Technologies each operating in Europe, North America, and Asia, this collaboration strengthens our ability to support scientists across geographies and disciplines.
