Directa Plus

Directa Plus was established in 2005. They set out to design a preproduction process for nano-materials that addressed the needs of today and not a future market. They remained in near stealth mode for nearly 10 years and followed what they termed 'a very disciplined IP strategy'. They have a 30 tpa production capacity today.
