HTGF sells Nanda Technologies

The integration of Nanda into Nanometrics opens up synergies for both companies, such as the implementation of Nanda's SPARK-system which will become the centre of excellence in Nanometrics' for inspection technology.

Seed investment for Nanda was provided in November 2006 by HTGF supporting the development of company's technology. Two years later, a consortium of BrainsToVentures, Ventegis Capital and Bayern Kapital, led by Deutsche Effecten- und Wechsel-Beteiligungsgesellschaft invested €5m in the business.

Nanda received its last early-stage funding in April 2010 from Capital-E and KfW, investing $4m alongside the existing investors from the previous round.
