The Future of Carbon Nanotubes Depends on Manufacturing

Proprietary manufacturing technologies enabling reliable, scalable production of advanced carbon nanotubes and conductors.

Who we are

Carbon nanotubes have demonstrated extraordinary potential for decades. The remaining challenge is manufacturing them reliably, economically, and at industrial scale. TrimTabs is building the industrial platform that closes that gap.

TrimTabs is pioneering nanomaterials manufacturing technologies from our sites in Neath & Bridgend in Wales, UK. Our multidisciplinary team combines expertise in materials science, chemical engineering, and environmental technology to develop breakthrough solutions that address the industrial needs for today and tomorrow. 

What we do

We develop the manufacturing technologies required to produce carbon nanotubes and advanced conductors reliably, economically, and at industrial scale.

Our technology

Carbon nanotubes have been studied for more than three decades. The science is increasingly well understood. The challenge today is no longer proving what CNTs can do, but manufacturing them realiabily, economically and at industrial scale

TrimTabs develops technologies across three integrated areas: 
• CNT materials
• CNT conductors
• CNT manufacturing systems

Our materials production ranges  from multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) to single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs).

Our conductors are lightweight, flexible and durable across a range of physical parameters and application use-cases. 

Our modular manufacturing platform offers unparalleled flexibility in feedstock selection, exceptional scalability, and CNT purity levels that meet or exceed industry standards.

Why Now?

The world is entering an era of unprecedented demand for advanced electrical infrastructure. Electrification, AI data centres, aerospace, defence and high-performance energy systems are placing new demands on conventional materials.

Carbon nanotubes have demonstrated remarkable potential for decades. The challenge is no longer proving their performance. The challenge is manufacturing them at industrial scale. That is the problem TrimTabs exists to solve.

The next decade won’t be won by proving CNTs work. It’ll be won by manufacturing them.
