Nanosurf was founded in 1997 in Liestal, Switzerland, and has since become one of the most trusted and established AFM brands in the market today. While we continue to develop and manufacture our AFMs from our headquarters in Switzerland, we have grown to be a global company with direct sales, service and support operations in China, Germany, India, Singapore, UK and the US. Since its inception, Nanosurf has focused on designing and manufacturing modular, high-quality and easy-to-use AFMs with an excellent price to value ratio.
