EKIMAS, trading on the OTCMKTS under the ticker ASNB, is a specialty materials company focused on the development, manufacture and distribution of high-performance silica-based additives. Its core product portfolio includes fumed silica, precipitated silica and colloidal silica, which are used to enhance the mechanical, thermal and rheological properties of polymers, coatings, adhesives and sealants. EKIMAS also provides custom formulation services and technical consulting to help customers optimize product performance in applications ranging from automotive tires and aerospace composites to consumer-grade cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
The company operates a vertically integrated supply chain with production facilities and research centers strategically located in Europe, North America and Asia. This global footprint allows EKIMAS to serve leading manufacturers in the automotive, construction, electronics and personal care sectors, ensuring timely delivery, localized technical support and compliance with regional regulatory requirements. EKIMAS has established long-term partnerships with major raw-material suppliers and logistics providers to secure feedstock and optimize distribution costs.
Founded in 1998 as a spin-off from a German national research institute, EKIMAS combined academic expertise in colloid and interface science with entrepreneurial management to commercialize advanced silica technologies. The company expanded into the United States in 2005 and opened its first Asian technical center in 2012. EKIMAS has since grown through a mix of organic R&D investment and targeted acquisitions that have augmented its product capabilities and broadened its end-market reach.
Under the leadership of CEO Dr. Maria Schultz and CFO John Lee, EKIMAS is pursuing a sustainability agenda that emphasizes low-energy production processes, waste-minimization practices and closed-loop recycling initiatives. Its ongoing research collaborations with universities and technical institutes aim to develop next-generation nano-structured materials for emerging applications such as electric-vehicle batteries, advanced filtration media and high-performance 3D printing resins.
