thinking, creative deal-making, and an<br />
ability to dream big. He is the inventor<br />
of over <strong>10</strong> patents.<br />
Doug has drawn loyal, smart people to<br />
him by helping others realize their<br />
dreams. Doug is a lifelong learner who<br />
believes in learning something new<br />
every day. In a few short years, he has<br />
turned Nanotech from a small business<br />
into a <strong>success</strong>, purchasing one of its<br />
larger competitors, Fortress Optical<br />
Features.<br />
Serving All Kinds of Clients<br />
Nanotech’s clients appreciate their<br />
great user interaction to help them<br />
understand and realize the value of this<br />
new ‘game changing’ technology. <strong>The</strong><br />
clients usually can be divided into<br />
three groups:<br />
<strong>The</strong> first group is environmental, where<br />
the client appreciates the great benefits<br />
of the technology by not using inks,<br />
pigment or dyes composing the color<br />
used in the products. This turns out to<br />
be a huge benefit in case of embedded<br />
indentations creating the color in the<br />
items, such as blue jeans where the<br />
material is made by using color dyes<br />
and the pollutants of those color dyes<br />
are injected into the rivers and oceans.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next group Nanotech serves is<br />
authentication types, which generally<br />
comments on how unique the<br />
technology is and how they like being<br />
able to incorporate the design directly<br />
onto any material with an ease to see<br />
the bright images, where even<br />
animation or motion can be<br />
incorporated into the authentication of<br />
design. Motion or animation of the<br />
image brings a whole new dimension<br />
to authentication, especially in case of<br />
securing documents as it is almost<br />
impossible to copy or imitate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> third group is branding that<br />
always focuses on the ability to<br />
combine colors to make flesh tones as<br />
well as black and white that are not<br />
available to them today. With<br />
Nanotech’s services, they can now<br />
create a full portrait image in bright<br />
LED- like colors combined with long<br />
range viewing where one can see the<br />
image from across the table or even<br />
across the street. This allows the<br />
design to be very creative,<br />
incorporating brand recognition<br />
with authentication.<br />
Gaining Confidence of Investors<br />
and Industry<br />
“One of the challenges of being in the<br />
field of anti-counterfeiting solutions<br />
for banknotes is the necessity for<br />
absolute client confidentiality. <strong>The</strong><br />
difficulties this condition has<br />
presented to expanding the company<br />
in a public company environment,<br />
where all investors want to know the<br />
details of all contracts the company<br />
has secured, are considerable,” asserts<br />
Doug on challenges one can face in<br />
this industry. Despite this Nanotech<br />
has gained the confidence of the<br />
industry and investors, winning<br />
top ten banknote-issuing authorities<br />
as clients, without publicly na<strong>min</strong>g<br />
any of them.<br />
