ABOUT US
Our vision is to become the leading supplier of nano-based materials and solutions for thermal management applications contributing to a sustainable society.
ABOUT US
Smart High Tech is a company focusing on producing new heat-dissipating materials reinforced with graphene with a focus on cooling of CPUs, GPUs, Chiplets, LEDs and other heat-intensive electronics devices. This is something that is essential to be able to develop high-performance electronics that are smaller, faster and lighter with more functionality in a sustainable way. We offer high-performance graphene-enhanced materials and associated process know-how. One example of our unique and innovative developments is our graphene-enhanced “Thermal Interface Material”, called TIM, for electronics and power module cooling, which conducts heat efficiently both vertically and horizontally. TIM is found in our GT-TIM® product series, which is available in different versions with different features.
We sell our products to international world-leading companies. USA, China, EU, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia are our top markets and our products are mainly used for AI, data center, telecom, computer and automotive industries.
VISION
Our vision is to become the world’s leading supplier of nano-based solutions for all sorts of thermal management applications. And thereby making a real contribution to a sustainable society.
MISSION
Our mission is to sell materials, processing know-how and licenses in thermal management areas, with a high degree of automation.
OUR COMPANY HISTORY
Smart High Tech was founded by Mr Johan Liu, a professor at Chalmers University of Technology Sweden in 2006. Since the start the company has carried out ground-breaking research which has laid a solid foundation for the development of our products, enabling the company to grow continuously. Another important aspect of the evolvement of Smart High Tech has been to create long-lasting relations with key business partners in USA, Asia, and Europe. Innovation has been at the core of the company since the very start and Smart High Tech is therefore also involved in several EU- and national innovation projects. Smart High Tech has set up a daughter company, Ruixi New Material High Tech Ltd in Shanghai, China for volume production. Smart High Tech has also its own manufacturing facility for production for graphene-enhanced thermal interface material in Sweden.
In the fall of 2021 Smart High Tech has also carried out an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Spotlight Stock Market. At the same time we issued an emission (worth 22 MSEK, equivalent to around 2,2 million Euro) which was used to further strengthen the production facilities in Sweden and expand our sales and marketing team.
In June 2024, Smart High Tech raised additional 90 MSEK to further scale up production for further international expansion.
