Overview
NanoAndMore is a specialist distribution business serving the atomic force microscopy and broader nanotechnology markets. Its principal role is to supply AFM cantilevers and probes, accessories, calibration standards, and related laboratory products from a range of manufacturers. The brand distributes products associated with NanoWorld, Nanosensors, BudgetSensors, MikroMasch, Opus, sQube, nanotools, and other suppliers. These products are used with atomic force microscopes in material science, physics, biology, life sciences, semiconductor research, and related technical fields. The company was founded in Germany in 2002. It began operating in the United States in 2005, the same year that NanoWorld Holding AG of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, acquired and integrated NanoAndMore into the NanoWorld group of nanotechnology companies. Following the integration, NanoWorld appointed NanoAndMore as the official distributor for NanoWorld and Nanosensors products. This relationship positioned NanoAndMore as a dedicated commercial channel for AFM probes and related products rather than as a manufacturer of a single branded instrument platform. NanoAndMore developed an international operating structure. NanoAndMore GmbH operates from Wetzlar, Germany, serving customers in the European market. NanoAndMore USA serves North and South America. Its American operation was based in Lady's Island, South Carolina, from 2005 through 2015, before moving to Watsonville, California, in 2015. NanoAndMore Japan was established in 2019 and operates from Misato in Saitama, serving the Japanese market. The company’s products are designed to fit common AFM platforms, including systems associated with Asylum Research, Bruker, JPK, Molecular Imaging, Nanosurf, Veeco, WiTEC, NT-MDT, Novascan, and other manufacturers. Because AFM probes are consumable or replaceable components that must be matched to particular research applications and microscope configurations, a specialist distributor can provide product selection, regional availability, and access to multiple manufacturers. NanoAndMore’s catalog therefore functions as a multi-brand sourcing channel for research laboratories and industrial users. NanoAndMore has also been described as an important supplier in the AFM field because its products are frequently identified in scientific research papers. Its market position is consequently based on technical specialization, breadth of compatibility, and geographic service coverage. The available reference material does not establish independent public financial figures, a stock-market listing, named executives, or a standalone manufacturing footprint. The brand is best understood as an international, NanoWorld-group-affiliated distributor focused on the practical supply of AFM probes and nanotechnology laboratory products.
History
NanoAndMore was established in Germany in 2002 as a distributor focused on products for nanotechnology and atomic force microscopy. Its business model centered on supplying AFM probes, cantilevers, accessories, calibration standards, and related products from specialized manufacturers rather than producing a complete AFM instrument platform itself. The company expanded its geographic presence to the United States in 2005. That year, NanoWorld Holding AG, based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, acquired and integrated NanoAndMore into the NanoWorld group, a collection of companies active in nanotechnology. As part of the group structure, NanoWorld designated NanoAndMore as the official distributor for NanoWorld and Nanosensors products. This gave the distributor a formal role in commercializing AFM probes associated with two important product brands within the group’s network. NanoAndMore’s international structure subsequently developed around regional operations. NanoAndMore GmbH operates from Wetzlar, Germany, and serves the European market. NanoAndMore USA was initially based in Lady's Island, South Carolina, where it operated from 2005 to 2015. In 2015, the American operation moved to Watsonville, California, providing a base for service to customers in both North and South America. In 2019, NanoAndMore Japan was founded in Misato, Saitama, to serve customers in Japan. The distributor’s catalog covers AFM probes and accessories compatible with a broad range of microscope systems. The reference material identifies compatibility with instruments associated with Asylum Research, Bruker, JPK, Molecular Imaging, Nanosurf, Veeco, WiTEC, NT-MDT, and Novascan, among others. This compatibility-oriented approach is significant because AFM users select probes according to the microscope, sample, imaging mode, material properties, and experimental requirements. A distributor carrying products from several specialist suppliers can therefore serve laboratories with different platforms and applications. NanoAndMore’s products are used in material science, physics, biology, life sciences, and the semiconductor industry. The company is also frequently cited as a supplier in scientific papers, indicating that its products are used in academic and industrial research environments. Its role in the market is consequently that of a technical distribution specialist and sourcing partner for AFM consumables and nanotechnology accessories. The available sources do not provide a detailed account of individual managers, financial performance, independent public ownership, or major advertising campaigns. They do establish the company’s founding in Germany, integration into the NanoWorld group, expansion into the United States and Japan, and continuing regional operations in Europe, the Americas, and Japan.
