AmaDema - Advanced Materials Design & Manufacturing Ltd

What AmaDema - Advanced Materials Design & Manufacturing Ltd does

AmaDema - Advanced Materials Design & Manufacturing Ltd is a Cyprus-based deep-tech materials company founded in 2016 by three co-founders (Dr. Vassilis Drakonakis, Katerina Sofocleous, and Evelthon Iacovides) and headquartered in a 650 sqm office-and-industrial facility in Kaimakli, Nicosia, with a secondary office in Athens, Greece. The company's flagship offering is NanoWeld®, a proprietary technology that attaches reinforced polymer nanofibers to both surfaces of existing technical fabrics (carbon, glass, aramid) via electrospinning and ultrasonic welding or thermo-compression. The resulting enhanced fabrics are intended to deliver meaningful gains in tensile strength (up to 17%), stiffness (up to 15%), fracture toughness, impact resistance, and damping factor (up to 15%) for multilayer composite parts. The portfolio is rounded out by R&D-stage screen printing, 3D printing on technical fabrics, and nano-reinforced foaming systems.

The business operates four revenue streams: direct sales of NanoWeld-enhanced technical fabrics, licensing of the ultrasonic welding/thermo-compression module as an add-on machine-box to fabric/prepreg manufacturers (with annual maintenance contracts), R&D project funding from European and Cyprus research foundations (most prominently Cyprus's Research and Innovation Foundation and EU programs), and custom composite component manufacturing services. The company targets five primary verticals — defense, aerospace, automotive, sports, construction, energy, and cosmetics — with active engagement at major international exhibitions (JEC World, DEFEA, Eurosatory, Airtech, Composites Madrid, Advanced Engineering UK). Headcount is 15-20, anchored by PhD-level engineers and supported by senior advisors and academic partnerships with the Cyprus University of Technology, the University of Cyprus, and the University of Nicosia Research Foundation.

The company has secured over €4.7 million in cumulative R&D and customer project value through December 2023, including a €1.45M INNOVATE grant under the NanoPro project (2020) and named engagements with the European Space Agency (HyperNanoWeld satellite frames, PIP NanoWeld payload interface plates), Airbus Defence, Thales, Petrolina, NKMC, and Sentinel Skin Cosmetics. Production capacity was raised 16x via a 2020 electrospinning upgrade, and a Roll-to-Roll module with machine-learning-based non-linear automatic feedback control has lifted throughput from 0.16 m/min to at least 8 m/min. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and a registered NanoWeld® trademark.
