Ossila Ltd was founded by organic electronics research scientists with the aim of providing the components, equipment and materials to enable faster and smarter research and discover. They are based at the Kroto Innovation Centre where they take advantage of the co-location with the National Centre III-V technologies clean room facilities.

In the past year they've had a huge recruitment drive nearly doubling the size of their team. This has been made possible by expansion of their product range into new areas and reinvesting profits into the company, as well as from a TSB funded grant project to facilitate further product development and expansion. Recently they have had a confirmation of a further grant starting in autumn to continue this growth. In that time they've also double the lab and office space they rent from us in The Kroto Innovation Centre
