Beyond the limits of conventional membranes!

Emerging as an innovative startup from the Swiss Federal University in Zurich (ETH) in 2013, Novamem carved its niche by pioneering the slash/ technology. This avant-garde approach heralded the next generation of porous polymer membranes, setting new industry benchmarks. The inherent flexibility of the slash/ process means it’s adapt at crafting membranes tailored for a vast spectrum of applications, reflecting Novamem’s commitment to versatility and excellence.

Branching out from its foundational expertise, Novamem expanded its horizons to become a formidable filter manufacturer. Today, we proudly market our proprietary water filters under the „drinkpure“ brand, setting new standards in water purification. Additionally, catering to the specialized needs of our B2B clientele, we craft bespoke ready-to-use filter systems, highlighting our diverse capabilities and commitment to serving varied market demands.
