Linz, Austria, August 24, 2005 --- The nanotechnology company NANOIDENT AG has joined the VDMA - Organic Electronics Association (OEA). NANOIDENT is the world's first company specialized in the development and production of organic semiconductor-based photonic sensors. As NANOIDENT CEO Klaus Schroeter comments, “The OEA is Europe's largest association of manufacturers, potential customers and partners in the organic semiconductor industry – a network that offers us plenty of excellent opportunities to rapidly expand our current market position.” OEA Managing Director Dr. Klaus Hecker adds, “NANOIDENT's accession to OEA is a great boost to our efforts to establish the association as a leading platform for the fast-growing European organic semiconductor industry.”

A European network of expertise
About 50 leading European companies and research institutes working in the field of organic electronics, including Covion, Degussa, MAN Roland, Merck, NANOIDENT, PolyIC and Siemens, have joined the Organic Electronics Association (OEA). Target is to build up a competitive infrastructure for the production of plastic electronics in Europe. The Organic Electronics Association (OEA) is a working group within the German Engineering Federation VDMA. Nearly 3,000 member companies from the capital goods industry make VDMA the largest industry association in Europe. The OEA expands the activities of VDMA in the field of new technologies such as flat panel displays, productronics and micro technologies (www.oe-a.org).
