Altana Acquires Stake In Technology Startup Saralon The specialty chemicals group Altana has acquired a stake in the tech startup Saralon. The company specializes in the development of inks for printing electronics. In addition, it offers prefabricated electronic com- ponents that enable printers to quickly build ca- pacities for printing electronics. The parties have agreed not to disclose the investment sum. Company Support Saralon was founded in Chemnitz, Germany, in 2015. Since the seed phase, the TGFS Technolo- giegründerfonds Sachsen has been supporting the company as a venture capital investor.
