IonKraft is a spin-off from the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University in Germany and is funded by the EIC Accelerator program of the European Innovation Council. Our mission is to make all plastic packaging recyclable and free of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with the help of plasma coating technology. A high barrier effect against gases, solvents and other substances is necessary to guarantee sufficient product protection in many industries. Since common and inexpensive packaging plastics only provide a limited sealing effect, an additional barrier must be added. Widely used barrier technologies like multi-plastic structures or fluorination compromise sustainability over barrier function. We offer a game-changing barrier coating technology for plastic containers, that provides perfect product protection, while being fluorine-free and fully recyclable. Our company is deeply rooted in science and innovation is in our DNA. Our company purpose expresses what unites us all at IonKraft: Pioneers at heart striving to push a circular economy for plastics forward for future generations.

Aiming for e-mobility, sharper displays or ever-smarter solutions using semiconductors: our modern information society faces major challenges that can only be mastered through advancing innovation. To make the development of new machining processes with lasers agile and efficient, a quickly available, high-quality and flexible solution is needed. We develop beam shaping optics for use with high-power and ultrashort pulse lasers in manufacturing industry. Our mission is to provide high quality and fast availability. A beam shape adapted to the manufacturing step increases the efficiency of existing processes and paves the way for new technologies.

We want to make a decisive contribution to a CO2-neutral global economy. For this we take action in the Power-to-X (PtX) industry to replace oil products with e.g. e-fuels (which are CO2-neutral & renewable). Specifically, we develop, build & market our innovative plasma catalysis reactors - wich will allow the mass production of e-fuels for €1/liter.
