An Unusual Business Model

Xtal.works follows a three-stage business model, from initial innovation via pilot line up to volume production. We excel in R&D, but our strength is not volume production. Therefore, we choose not to handle the volume production of our innovations ourselves. Instead, our strategy is to spin out a company, form joint ventures, or sell the technology once the pilot line reaches a maximum of €100 million in revenue. This approach allows us to focus on what we do best - continuously improving our technology and processes and creating new and disruptive innovations.

Innovation

A main innovation and ancillary innovations are generated and validated by simulations and experiments in the laboratory.

Pilot Line

The commercial viability of the innovation is demonstrated in a pilot line generating revenues of up to €100 million.

Volume Production

Although we do not set up mass production ourselves, Xtal.works continues to develop and improve the technology or moves on to other innovations if the technology is sold.
