Pharmaceutical innovation
NovaldMedical combines pharmaceutical substances, thin film technology and materials science. We bring a new approach to life science markets to serve the evolving needs of drug development, formulation engineering and manufacturing processes.
Control via surface
We have opened a new highway for Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) application development by bringing the process to serve enhanced drug delivery, formulation engineering and industrial pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Better life for us all
Novald Medical’s competence portfolio creates great potential in the life science industry by bringing lucrative solution opportunities into the drug delivery arena as well as medical device development. All this has tremendous capacity to create future medical therapies and diagnostics applications bringing us all better quality of life.
The Novald Story
What happens when an enthusiastic pharmacist realizes he has a problem in pharmaceutical processability? He contacts thin film scientists to see whether a state-of-the-art deposition technology could deliver a resolution. Together, they discover that a nanoscale thin film generated by Atomic Layer Deposition advances the process by expanding the characteristics of the pharmaceuticals. When you add a pioneering and dynamic engineer to the group you end up having a creative, cross-disciplinary team – this is NovaldMedical Ltd.
We in Novald Medical believe in strong interdisciplinary co-operation and joint efforts. We have a unique combination of knowledge and expertise in the fields of pharmaceutical manufacturing and life- and material sciences. We are here to offer new technologies for novel medication therapies and drug delivery platforms.

Life Science Applications
We have experience in tailoring surfaces for pharmaceutical processing, diagnostics and therapeutical applications. Novel surface modification with thin films is a future method for drug manufacturing and processing. Designed thin films make it possible to improve the performance of e.g. laboratory accessories, medical devices and processing equipment by modifying the sensitivity, integrity and biophysical response of critical surfaces.
