Nanosilicon Advanced Materials is accelerating its entry into the East African market by securing an initial order of 10 million genuine certification marks in Tanzania. Based on cooperation with the Tanzanian government and local industries, the company plans to expand the application of its product authentication technology beyond alcoholic beverages and tobacco to pharmaceuticals, industrial products, as well as logistics and distribution sectors.

On September 7, Nanosilicon Advanced Materials announced that it had signed a contract to supply approximately 10 million of its genuine certification marks to Tanzania.

This contract was concluded shortly after introducing the company's authentication technology locally. On September 2, Nanosilicon Advanced Materials participated in the "Tanzania Anti-Counterfeit and Investment Protection Forum" held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where it gave an official demonstration of its authentication technology, "MTX (Magnetically Color Changeable Photonic Crystal)."

About 200 people attended the event, including representatives from the Fair Competition Commission (FCC) of Tanzania, government agencies related to investment, and professionals from the local manufacturing and distribution industries.

MTX is a product authentication technology that uses nanomaterials to endow products with unique security features. By utilizing devices such as smartphones, users can verify product authenticity in about one second. The company describes this as the "TAP & CHECK in 1 Second" technology.

The key differentiator from existing anti-counterfeit technologies is the implementation of security features that cannot be duplicated. MTX is recognized as a technology that complements the weaknesses of existing methods—such as holograms, information patterns (QR codes), and barcodes—and has attracted interest from local government and industries.

The Tanzanian government is also exploring the potential uses of MTX across multiple sectors. The FCC stated that, in order to protect consumers from counterfeit goods and prevent illegal distribution, it is considering applying an authentication system based on MTX not only to official government documents but also to alcoholic beverages, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, tickets, and more.

Nanosilicon Advanced Materials intends to expand its local business starting with this initial supply. The company plans to first target the consumer goods sector such as alcoholic beverages and tobacco, then broaden the scope to pharmaceuticals and industrial products, while also promoting the use of MTX in logistics and distribution.

The company has also set out to position Tanzania as a strategic hub for broadening its market presence across Africa. The plan is to gradually expand its business to major African countries, including member states of the East African Community (EAC), where Tanzania is located.

An official from Nanosilicon Advanced Materials said, "Starting with this initial supply, we plan to expand the application of MTX in Tanzania—not only to consumer goods such as alcoholic beverages and tobacco but also to pharmaceuticals, industrial products, and logistics and distribution sectors. We will leverage Tanzania as a strategic base to progressively expand our business into major African countries, including EAC member states."

Based on its collaboration with the Tanzanian government and local industries, Nanosilicon Advanced Materials aims to expand the use of MTX in Tanzania, starting with the initial supply of 10 million units, and to actively pursue the African product authentication market.
