- Nabaltec AG develops, manufactures, and distributes specialized products based on aluminum hydroxide and aluminum oxide; operates through two segments, Functional Fillers and Specialty Alumina; and serves industries including plastics, cables, technical ceramics, refractories, catalysts, polishing, and electromobility. In the Functional Fillers segment, the company produces non-halogenated flame-retardant fillers such as APYRAL® for polymer applications in cables, electronic devices, conveyor belts, and construction materials; thermally conductive fillers like APYRAL® HC for gap fillers and electric vehicles; boehmites including APYRAL® AOH and ACTILOX® for catalysts and flame retardancy; surface-treated fillers; and processing aids like ACTILOX® PA. The Specialty Alumina segment provides calcined aluminas under NABALOX® for ceramics, refractories, catalysts, and polishing media, as well as ceramic bodies like GRANALOX® for technical ceramics and ballistic applications.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Schwandorf, Germany, Nabaltec maintains production sites in Germany and the United States, with sales subsidiaries including Nabaltec USA Corporation and Naprotec LLC in Texas and Tennessee, respectively, Nabaltec (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd. in China, and operations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.
In its 2024 financial year, Nabaltec reported preliminary revenues of EUR 203.6 million, up 1.7% from the prior year, with EBIT rising 21.4% to EUR 22.3 million and an EBIT margin of 10.8%, driven by volume growth in Functional Fillers despite pricing pressures and weakness in steel-related Specialty Alumina demand; the company projects 3% to 5% revenue growth and 7% to 9% EBIT margin for 2025 amid ongoing economic challenges. Nabaltec continues to expand capacity, optimize processes, and develop products like boehmites and gap fillers for electric vehicle batteries, while maintaining strategic collaborations such as its membership with OTH Amberg-Weiden university since 2023/2024 for research and lectures.
