Our Awards
King's Award for Enterprise (2024)
Ossila was recognised a second time for outstanding continuous growth in international sales over the past six years by the 2024 King’s Award for International Trade. Overseas sales have increased by almost 200% in the award period and consistently represent around 85% of Ossila's total sales. Our dedication to international trade is evidenced by the launch of a European subsidiary company, Ossila BV, in Leiden in 2021. This was an important step to ensuring hassle-free delivery with no customs issues or unexpected fees for our EU customers following the UK's withdrawal from the single market.
Queen's Award for Enterprise (2018)
In 2018, Ossila was a recipient of the Queen’s Award for International Trade. At the time, Ossila had exported to over 80 countries with more than 80% of total turnover attributed to overseas sales. Following high sales growth in the USA, South Korea, India, and Germany, we expanded our UK operations and manufacturing capacity, moving to larger premises and tripling our workforce.
IOP Innovation Award (2017)
In 2017, Ossila won a Business Innovation Award from the Institute of Physics. This award recognised outstanding innovation and application of physics in industry, and the successful implementation of physics into a product or service. Specifically, we were awarded for the development of our Solar Cell Prototyping Platform. This platform enabled researchers to produce high quality, fully-functional solar cells that can be used as a reliable baseline.
Customer Feedback
We find Ossila's equipment very user-friendly and practical for our processes (solar cell research), and have used them since 2015. They provide good value for startups and SMEs, especially the consumables and equipment which are part of the Ossila Solar Cell Prototyping Platform.
We recently purchased an Ossila Spin Coater. Its compact size and vacuum-free system is ideal for our rather over-crowded laboratory, and it has enabled us to prepare a series of high-quality block copolymer thin films. The chucks make it easy to use different-sized substrates and we have programmed several spin cycles, which allows systematic variation of the copolymer film thickness with good reproducibility.
Ossila’s products and well-optimised procedures have contributed to the education of students in Physics. With a modest investment, my student labs can be equipped with the necessary setup to allow students to fabricate their own OPVs or OLEDs. This provides a holistic approach in studying the photophysics of organic semiconductor devices.
We used Ossila's substrates in some of our final year projects (both BSc and MPhys). The high quality and ease-of-use of Ossila’s substrates allowed us to run several undergraduate projects, where the substrates are used as transparent electrodes to perform photoconductivity measurements from organic semiconductors.
Great products and service. Have already recommended to many people.
Ossila provides high-quality materials and useful accessories.
Ossila’s components are of high quality, excellent consistency, and are readily available in sensible quantities. This means the only variables that change when we make devices are the actual variables we planned to study. This helps us push forward our fundamental research more quickly than we would otherwise be able to achieve.
Very convenient and products are of good quality. Quantities are appropriate for most applications.
I greatly appreciate your website for giving such a clear and detailed explanation of spin coating theory. I am a newbie in spin coating application and your explanation is the best I have found so far. Great job!
One of the things our research group works with is semiconductors and their applications in heterogeneous photocatalysis. My scientific initiative is to develop heterostructuresd thin films of Bi2O3/BiVO4. Ossila's spin coating deposition guide has helped me in the development of Bi2O3 thin films. It is a complete and informative guide.
It truly is wonderful that you have all of the necessary elements available!
Wonderful company with reasonably priced products and so customer-friendly!
