Pixelligent Secures Strategic Investment from Henkel

Pixelligent Technologies LLC announced that it has secured a significant strategic capital investment from Henkel AG & Co. KGaA. Along with the investment, the support of Henkel’s world-class global infrastructure and sales force, combined with Pixelligent’s award-winning products and manufacturing technology, will help accelerate the adoption of extended reality (XR) and next-generation display applications.

Pixelligent’s PFAS-free products deliver the properties and performance demanded by the intense requirements of augmented and mixed reality devices, OLED, 3D, and microLED displays, as well as optical sensors and industrial applications.

The company’s PixClear, PixNIL, and PixJet products are high-refractive index formulations.

The deal coincides with growth in markets where Pixelligent leads. In particular, the AR/VR market is surging due to rising demand for immersive experiences in gaming, healthcare, retail, education, and other sectors.

“Pixelligent is developing next-generation XR and display formulations for leading consumer electronics companies,” said Carmen Chua, corporate SVP Mobility & Electronics Adhesives at Henkel. “The synergies we anticipate in applications development and product roadmaps, combined with our global footprint will enable Pixelligent to scale faster and better support its customers.”

“In Henkel we have found a global strategic partner who shares our conviction that we can deliver breakthrough products for customers while also being good stewards of the environment and still deliver exceptional value to shareholders,” said Craig Bandes, Pixelligent’s president and CEO. “We are both committed to driving continuous product innovation and expanding our capabilities and product offerings.”
