About Media Lario Technologies

Media Lario Technologies is a leading supplier of cost effective high-precision reflective optical components and systems for a variety of advanced applications in Semiconductor Lithography, Semiconductor Processing Capital Equipment, Space & Terrestrial Science, and Medical & Life Science Devices, thereby serving the desired radiation spectrum from X-ray to millimeter waves.

The Company’s broad spectrum of competencies combined with its in-house facilities allow Media Lario Technologies to perform the entire process from developing and testing prototypes through to delivering customized turnkey products.

The Company was founded in 1993 in order to respond to the urgent need of a reliable high-precision technology for x-ray optics applications in space science. Media Lario Technologies was the first company to successfully implement and industrially manufacture its unique electroforming technology, offering a new cost effective way for serial production of high-precision optical components and systems. The Company’s proprietary technology emerged from the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and the National Institute of Astrophysics (Instituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, INAF / Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera, OAB).

Media Lario Technologies builds on more than 10 years of experience and success in space & terrestrial precision optics due to the Company’s long-standing cooperation with renowned astrophysical institutions such as the U.S., European, and Italian Space Agencies (NASA, ESA, ASI) in various notable space missions:

Media Lario Technologies was a key contributor to the success of ESA’s cornerstone mission, the XMM-Newton, the most powerful X-ray telescope ever built. Launched in 1999, this telescope is still orbiting earth. In addition, the Company manufactured X-ray mirrors for BEPPO Sax and participated in NASA’s SWIFT project.

Based on this invaluable experience, Media Lario Technologies continuously enhances its core technologies, namely the high-precision electroforming replication process, and the physical vapor deposition coating process, enabling the Company to additionally serve emerging markets such as the EUV lithography.

Media Lario Technologies’ exceptional team of highly qualified industry experts in all areas of its core competencies is led by CEO and President Giovanni Nocerino, whose career builds on more than 25 years of management experience in key executive roles in the semiconductor device and equipment industries.

Media Lario Technologies is a privately held company owned by its management and a group of leading international venture capital organizations including Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Intel Capital, TLcom Capital Partners, Vision Capital, and PolyTechnos. The Company is represented in Bosisio Parini near Milan, Italy (headquarters), and Pleasanton, CA, USA, with additional production facilities in Padova, Italy.
