Coatings can improve the performance and lifetime of high-touch surfaces like point-of-sale registers, NBD Nanotechnologies says.

Henkel has acquired the surface modification specialist NBD Nanotechnologies for an undisclosed sum. The firm will become part of Henkel’s adhesive unit.

In 2017, Henkel invested in NBD’s $8 million series B fundraising round along with BASF and Phoenix Venture Partners.
