What Appsilon Enterprise does

Appsilon Enterprise (also operating as Appsilon Advanced Materials) is a deep-tech materials company that manufactures lab-grown single-crystal and polycrystalline diamonds using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) synthesis. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Delft with Turkish institutional backing, the company produces seven distinct diamond product grades — optical, heat spreader, quantum, electronic, industrial tool, medical, and tailor-made custom solutions — serving customers across electronics and semiconductors, aerospace and defense, optics and photonics, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, and quantum technology.

The company's core technology portfolio includes controlled nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center engineering for quantum-grade diamond, semiconductor-quality doped diamond for high-power electronics, and biocompatible diamond formulations for medical devices. Its most recently publicized commercial product is the Vector 10™ surgical blade — a CVD diamond blade co-developed with Vera Clinic for hair transplantation, validated by independent testing at Çınar Validation and Test Laboratories to retain sharpness beyond 90,000 incisions.

Appsilon operates a B2B enterprise sales model with direct, consultative engagement on custom-engineered diamond solutions. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of diamond materials across multiple grades, professional services for custom diamond development, and technology licensing of proprietary CVD/HPHT processes. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per specification and order volume. The company has raised approximately €20 million+ across multiple funding rounds between 2017 and 2023, including a €12.5 million round led by Esas Private Equity in 2022.

Direct peers

• Element Six: De Beers subsidiary and global leader in synthetic diamond manufacturing using both CVD and HPHT methods. Directly comparable across optical, electronic, quantum, and industrial diamond grades, with far greater scale and customer base.
• IIa Technologies: Singapore-based CVD single-crystal diamond producer serving optics, electronics, and quantum end-markets. Closest mid-sized peer to Appsilon in terms of product breadth and CVD focus.
• Diamond Materials GmbH: German CVD diamond specialist producing optical, electronic, and thermal-management diamond components. Closely comparable to Appsilon on product mix and customer segments, with a stronger European footprint.
• New Diamond Technology: Russian-headquartered producer of HPHT and CVD single-crystal diamonds for optics, electronics, and jewelry. Comparable on production technology and product portfolio, though with different geographic exposure.
• Advanced Diamond Technologies: US-based CVD nanocrystalline and ultrananocrystalline diamond film producer focused on industrial and electronic applications. Comparable on CVD technology stack but differentiated toward coated films rather than bulk single crystals.
• SP3 Diamond Technologies: US CVD diamond equipment and material supplier. A peer at the equipment-and-material interface, useful as a comparable for capital intensity and process IP economics.
• Scio Diamond Technology: US-listed CVD single-crystal diamond producer focused on gemstone, optical, and quantum applications. Comparable on technology and product mix, though historically more exposed to gemstone end-markets.
• Applied Diamond Inc. US-based supplier of CVD and HPHT synthetic diamond products for industrial, electronic, and research applications. Comparable mid-sized peer with a similar custom-solutions orientation.

Broad incumbents

• Sumitomo Electric: Industrial conglomerate with a long-established HPHT single-crystal diamond business serving electronics and industrial tooling. A broad incumbent that competes on scale rather than on quantum/medical specialization.
• Hyperion Materials & Technologies: Broad advanced-materials incumbent (superabrasives, cemented carbides) competing with Appsilon in industrial cutting, drilling, and wear applications. Useful comparable for industrial-grade pricing dynamics rather than quantum/medical.
