What we did

HISTORY

Prof. Dr. Thomas Hinderling and his wife Christine Ledergerber founded NOVATON in 2010 to commercialize the Solar Islands concept he had invented and offer consulting services in the area of renewable energy systems. When Dr. Thomas Hinderling passed away in 2011, Christine continued the NOVATON journey.

As of 2016, the commercial operations started under the leadership of a new CEO, Issam Kabbani. Today, NOVATON focuses on providing complete sustainable systems and solutions for the aquaculture industry.

NOVATON assembled a Scientific Board composed of world-renowned scientists and contracted exclusive strategic partnerships with advanced research and development (R&D) institutions as well as component and solution providers in all relevant fields.
