Genziko, Inc. is an early stage nanotechnology company with facilities in the Marcus Nanotechnology Building at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA and offices in Maumee, OH.

Our mission is to become the global leader in the rapidly growing $10.76 billion micro-actuator and micro-motor market and in the rapidly growing energy harvester market.

Genziko will design, manufacture, and sell micro-actuators and micro-motors for applications that include, but are not limited to, virtual jets, fuel injectors, and cell phone camera lens zoom and focus mechanisms. We will also design, manufacture, and sell energy harvesters for applications that include remote wireless sensor networks, handheld electronics, and wireless lighting devices. Genziko has received letters of support for their technology from several customer partners as well as other companies interested in purchasing products from the company.

Using protectable smart materials and nanoprocessing technologies, Genziko will lead the current electronic sensors and the next electronic actuator technologies decades. With projected electrical power outputs in the W/in2 range (versus mW/in2 and mW/in2 for conventional thick film and MEMS devices), Genziko’s vibrational energy harvesters are being demanded to power ubiquitous wireless condition-based maintenance and operational monitoring sensor networks, tire pressure monitors, microprocessors, transmitters, and solid-state lighting, independent from electrical mains or battery power.

With project mechanical power outputs in the kW range (versus W or mW for conventional thick and thin film devices), Genziko’s actuators and motors are being demanded to electronically control combustion engines, to replace power-hungry solenoids, and to produce the world’s smallest battery-driven linear motor. By linking the two mechatronic devices, sensors with actuators or motors, any electronic control system becomes “smart”, allowing the sensor information to be used automatically by the actuator without human decision-making and intervention, allowing awareness, response, and control of environments, systems, and processes in transportation, industrial, biomedical, infrastructure, telecommunications, utility, commercial, and home systems.
