- Medium-term financing secured through loan commitment
- Significant reduction of workforce
- Water filtration as core business area
The board of directors of Nanostart holding ItN Nanovation AG (ISIN DE000A0JL461) – which recently received a shareholder loan, thereby securing the medium-term financing of the company – today resolved to implement a comprehensive repositioning program. ItN Nanovation will place a stronger focus than previously on the promising growth area of water filtration. Emphasis will be on existing groundwater filtration and wastewater treatment activities. The repositioning program also reduces the workforce from 62 to 37 employees. A loan commitment from a large shareholder will provide a financial foundation for this more focused business alignment.
