Revenue model

1. Modular Plant Sales and Construction: Design, planning, and construction of customized MoFa (Modular Factory) plants. The process includes coarse planning (3-4 months) resulting in a budget offer, detailed planning (6-8 months) resulting in a detailed offer, followed by construction and commissioning.
2. Contract Manufacturing (Toll Manufacturing): Manufacturing services using state-of-the-art modular production equipment. Services include production of slurries (titanium dioxide, barium sulphate), pigment preparations (organic/inorganic), and paint and coatings systems. Additional services include emulsifying, dissolving, dispersing, mixing, grinding, testing, filling, labeling, and shipping. ISO 9001:2015 certified production.
3. Proof of Concept Consulting: Consulting service to validate the potential of modular manufacturing technology for customer-specific product portfolios. Includes workshops, formulation analysis, and testing on Micro-MoFa laboratory equipment.
4. HTC Product Sales (Aquamediates): Sale of binder-free pastes and slurries including matting pastes (AM-1501 silica-based), filler pastes (AM-1470 barium sulfate-based), pigment pastes (AM-1010 white rutile, AM-1204 black soot, AM-1201 nanoscale carbon black), and custom pigment paste development.
5. Customized Product Development: Customer-specific product development services based on expertise in modularizing formulations to reduce production complexity and improve cost-efficiency.

Core offering

Hemmelrath Technologies GmbH sells and commissions the MoFa (Modular Factory) modular production technology platform — comprising scalable modular plants (Micro-MoFa 10/300, Mini-MoFa, full-scale MoFa-Anlage up to 40,000 L) paired with a proprietary Modular Raw Material Concept — and sells binder-free Aquamediates pastes/slurries for paint and coatings. The company also provides proof-of-concept consulting, planning and construction services for MoFa plants, custom product development, and ISO 9001:2015-certified contract (toll) manufacturing of slurries, pigment preparations and coating systems.

Product overview

Hemmelrath Technologies offers a modular manufacturing ecosystem centered on the MoFa (Modular Manufacturing) technology platform. The portfolio includes three tiers of production facilities: Micro-MoFa (10L and 300L) for laboratory and small batch production, Mini-MoFa (500-5,000L) for compact production, and full-scale MoFa-Anlage (up to 40,000L) for large-scale manufacturing. The system is complemented by HTC Aquamediates product line—binder-free pastes including matting (AM-1501), filler (AM-1470), white pigment (AM-1010), and black pigment pastes (AM-1204, AM-1201)—along with professional services for proof of concept, planning/construction, custom product development, and contract manufacturing. All offerings are designed for the paint and coatings industry with Industry 4.0 capabilities.
