ASCA

ASCA GmbH, a company of the HERING Group, is a pioneer in the development and application of organic photovoltaics (OPV). The company specializes in the production and integration of flexible, ultra-thin, and transparent OPV films. These innovative products are used in various fields such as architecture, connected objects, mobility, and art.

• Architecture: ASCA® films enable a subtle integration into surfaces of facades and other building elements, opening up new design horizons and offering aesthetic diversity in sustainable energy generation.
• Custom Design: The films can be freely shaped and designed, are lightweight, flexible, and can be offered in various degrees of transparency and colors.
• Indoor & Outdoor: ASCA® products can be effectively used with both artificial light and natural sunlight, allowing for a wide range of applications[2].

ASCA GmbH is committed to developing turnkey solutions that fully meet customer needs through innovative technologies and close collaboration with clients. The company relies on a passionate team of engineers and visionaries to unleash creativity together with customers and turn ideas into reality.

• Innovation and Collaboration: ASCA® emphasizes the importance of design thinking, co-design workshops, and iterative sprints to develop tailored solutions.
• Sustainability and Efficiency: The company strives to combine green design and efficiency while promoting sustainable energy generation[2].

ASCA GmbH is strongly focused on sustainability and pursues several initiatives to achieve these goals:

• Sustainable Energy Generation: The OPV films are low in CO2 and contribute to sustainable development.
• Modular and Flexible Solutions: The products are fully modular, lightweight, flexible, and semi-transparent, allowing for versatile applications.
• Environmentally Friendly Production: ASCA® produces in Germany and relies on an international team of engineers and staff to ensure that production is environmentally friendly and efficient[2].

ASCA GmbH, originally not directly connected to the current OPV technology, has undergone a remarkable transformation in the past. In the context of another ASCA GmbH, which emerged from a state-funded chemical research institute, the company's ability to adapt to new challenges and develop innovative solutions is evident. Today's ASCA GmbH, under the leadership of Dipl.-Ing. Annette Hering, focuses on a strong corporate culture based on collaboration, innovation, and sustainability[1][3].

Through its innovative approach and focus on sustainability and efficiency, ASCA GmbH positions itself as a leading company in organic photovoltaics, offering creative and environmentally friendly solutions for a diverse range of applications.
