NIONE is a company that aims to explore all possibilities of manipulating matter in its nanopower. Through nanotechnology, it enhances the physical and chemical properties of materials, improving their performance compared to the old ways, revolutionizing traditional products that are already established in the market, and enabling the creation of new solutions with unique characteristics. NIONE is a 100% Brazilian company that was born from scientific studies carried out by the Randon Technological Center (CTR) and the Hercílio Randon Institute (IHR). Nanotechnology and its microscopic universe offer enormous possibilities for contemporary science and industry. Many of the benefits are still being studied and discovered for each material and application, and NIONE is one of the protagonists in this market.
NIONE is the first company in the world to develop a method for obtaining niobium nanoparticles on a large scale and, consequently, at a lower cost than the technologies used up to that point, making it possible to use nanoscale niobium for a variety of industrial applications. Getting to this scale was not an easy task. It took several years of research to achieve the pioneering work of dividing niobium into highly scalable nanoparticles and offering competitive and fully customized solutions to the market for each type of application. Nanotechnology has come to transform. How to create the name, concept, and identity of the next brand that will participate in this revolution?
More than the science that studies the composition, structure, and properties of matter, chemistry is an agent of change. For great transformations to happen, it's necessary to reach the deepest atomic and molecular level. NIONE is able to transform products into their best versions. NIONE's nanotechnology allows for the creation of products that are lighter, stronger, more resistant, and more efficient, depending on the desired characteristics. How can something so intangible be explained?
We are the first company in the world to develop a method for obtaining niobium nanoparticles on a large scale and, consequently, at a lower cost than the technologies used up until then, making the use of nanometric niobium viable for the industry. The inspiration for the creation of the naming comes from the chemical element itself and the company's pioneering spirit. Thus, NIONE (Niobium + One) is born, a sonorous and international name that reflects the brand's history.
For NIONE, we have developed a symbol. To do so, we drew inspiration from the visual context of nanotechnology. From it, we extracted two elements: the hexagon and the nanoparticles, represented here by small circles. Together, they give rise to the letter N, for NIONE. The result is a performative, modern and differentiated symbol that reflects the imagination of nanotechnology while strengthening the initial of the name.
