Nanografi

What Nanografi does

Nanografi is a Turkish nanotechnology company founded in 2011 within METU Technopolis in Ankara, where it remains headquartered. It operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ahlatcı Holding, a diversified Turkish conglomerate, and runs one of Turkey's first and the world's largest graphene mass production facilities with an annual capacity of 100 tons in Ankara's İvedik OSB. The company sells a broad catalog of advanced nanomaterials and intermediates — including graphene variants (CVD, functionalized, oxide, nanoplatelets, aerogels, dispersions, and the proprietary Holey Super Graphene), single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, metal-organic frameworks, nanoparticles and microparticles, MXene and MAX phase materials, battery materials, semiconductor wafers, sputtering targets, rare earth materials, shape memory materials, conductive and security inks, and laboratory equipment — across more than 14 industry verticals spanning healthcare, electronics, energy, automotive, aerospace, defense, security printing, manufacturing, and environmental applications.

Its core technology rests on scalable graphene production and in-house formulation expertise, with Holey Super Graphene (conductivity up to 16,500 μS/cm) as the differentiated anchor product targeting energy storage, sensors, water treatment, and biotechnology applications. The portfolio is organized into seven sub-brands (Nanografi Advanced Materials, Chemicals, Energy, Inks, Life Science, Smart Tech, Reaction) that operate via dedicated subdomain storefronts in addition to the main shop.nanografi.com catalog.

Nanografi's revenue model combines catalog e-commerce sales (unit pricing, pay-as-you-go) to SMBs, individual researchers, and academic buyers with quote-based direct enterprise sales for bulk orders, custom R&D engagements, and turnkey industrial scale-up solutions. Distribution is multi-channel: e-commerce storefronts handle standardized catalog SKUs, a field sales team covers large-volume industrial and defense clients, and a RFQ workflow serves custom orders. The company reaches customers in more than 100 countries through its Turkish facilities plus sales offices in Hopkins (Minnesota, US), Tallinn (Estonia), and Düsseldorf (Germany), and supports demand generation through technical content (Blografi), social media, and recurring participation in international trade shows including Advanced Engineering UK, TechBlick, SAHA EXPO, Trustech, and Intergraf Currency+Identity. Long-running operational partnerships with METU Technopolis, global universities, and industrial partners across energy, automotive, defense, and electronics underpin both R&D pipeline and customer access.
