"KSV NIMA creates value for its customers by providing advanced, innovative instruments for thin film fabrication and characterisation, by constantly exchanging knowledge with its customers and through building open, trusting relationships with customers and partners."

KSV NIMA is the leading provider of instruments for thin film fabrication and characterization in research and development globally. Instruments made by KSV NIMA are being utilized in nanotechnology research, surface chemistry, surface physics, biophysics, colloidal research, biochemistry and materials development.

In 2010 KSV and NIMA joined forces as part of the Biolin Scientific group, uniting both product ranges under the new KSV NIMA brand. This required a new visual identity, too - and Werklig was chosen to do the job.

It was required to keep both Nima and KSV key elements visible also in the new identity. The new symbol for the company was created combining two key forms  - a circle (from Nima) and hexagon (from KSV). Transparency was used  in the symbol to create a sense of layers and films.

A full identity concept was provided, including company symbol and logo,typography, colours, website design and other main applications.
