BACKGROUND
ENBIO has gained recognition within the Space sector, through contracts with the European Space Agency (ESA) by qualifying two mission-critical thermal control coatings for the upcoming Solar Orbiter satellite (link to ENBIO Solar Orbiter page), due to launch in 2020. Building on these experiences, ENBIO has developed CoBlast, its core surface enhancement process, across multiple industry sectors and has engaged with companies in industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense, automotive, oil and gas, and energy. ENBIO is based in Ireland and operates out of Dublin. The company has strong academic collaborations with the Mechanical and Materials Engineering and Physics departments of University College Dublin (UCD), Dublin City University (DCU) and Trinity College Dublin (TCD). ENBIO has an experienced management and technical team with additional advisors including leading professors, senior executives, and management experts.
At the heart of the company, there is a dedicated drive for CoBlast to be a streamlined, clean, efficient and environmentally friendly solution, scaled in partnership with the application end-user. ENBIO’s objective is to provide a sustainable technology solution as an alternative to hazardous and toxic material processes with high energy and water use, excessive waste streams, and negative environmental impacts. Through REACH compliance, ENBIO is committed to sustainability at a company level and practice it across the business.
MANAGEMENT TEAM
John O’Donoghue • Chief Executive Officer
John O’Donoghue graduated from University College Dublin, Ireland, with a Mechanical Engineering degree and went on to work in a series of medical device companies (National Medical Care, J&J, Guidant) over 20 years, where he was responsible for introducing a range of process and production upgrades. In 2001, John began to study metal surface modification while undertaking an MSc in Biomedical Engineering in Trinity College Dublin. Prompted by this research, John developed and patented the CoBlast process. In 2006, he left the security of corporate employment and started ENBIO, which now employs 15 people and supplies key enabling technology to the European Space Agency. Under his guidance, the company thrives and is now branching out into other sectors.
