Company profile
LAB14 is a global group of high-tech companies specializing in advanced manufacturing solutions for nano- and microtechnology. Its subsidiaries develop and deliver technologies in nanofabrication, microfabrication, surface analysis and additive electronics for industries that require high levels of precision and performance. Founded in 2022, LAB14 was established to unify and strengthen a portfolio of companies with decades of expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, materials science, life sciences and industrial applications. The group has more than 1,200 employees and 28 locations across Europe, America and Asia, creating a network in which collaboration and technological synergies can be developed across specialized companies. LAB14 brings together Heidelberg Instruments, GenISys, Nanosurf, SPECS, 40-30, Amcoss, Notion Systems and Nanoscribe, organized into four Business Groups focused on key areas of nano- and microtechnology. By integrating specialized companies under one roof, LAB14 describes an ecosystem intended to accelerate research, optimize manufacturing processes and deliver solutions aligned with changing customer and partner needs. Its growth strategy combines organic expansion with strategic acquisitions, while parent company RSBG SE, part of the RAG-Stiftung, provides a financial foundation intended to support long-term technological excellence and sustainable development. LAB14 also describes itself as an international technology group focused on micro- and nanotechnology, uniting complementary expertise in fabrication, patterning, analysis and metrology. The group acts as a strategic platform that strengthens its companies through long-term investment, cross-company collaboration and shared technological direction, while its companies cover connected steps along micro- and nanotechnology value chains. LAB14 actively fosters cooperation across its companies to accelerate innovation and market readiness, and its technologies serve semiconductor manufacturing, advanced research and industrial production. The group has also continued to expand its network, including the addition of Nanoscribe as a subsidiary and the merger of Osiris International and Notion Systems announced in its corporate updates. LAB14's management model is designed to let group companies concentrate on advancing their technologies, applications and services while the group provides strategic, financial and collaborative support.
