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.
