Bare Conductive shuts down
UK conductive ink pioneer Bare Conductive is shutting down to focus on the spin out sensor business Laiier.
The company started selling conductive inks in 2011 following a project at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College in 2009 for prototyping flexible electronic sensor systems.
“The global pandemic brought significant challenges to Bare Conductive. Supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and geopolitical shifts forced us to reevaluate our business. But within these obstacles, we found opportunity. By 2020, our work with industrial partners on advanced sensor technologies began to outpace our consumer-focused offerings,” said the company.
This led to sensor company Laiier launched in 2021.
“Laiier builds on the deep technical expertise and creativity that defined Bare Conductive. Its focus is precise, scalable, and mission-critical: to prevent leak-driven damage and downtime in buildings and industrial equipment. This shift represents a strategic evolution, enabling us to have a far greater impact on industries and the environment,” said the team.
To ensure continued access, RS Components remains the official distributor and will carry the remaining stock while supplies last for the Electric Paint, Touch Boards and other products.
The project resources will remain online for a couple of months until 5th June 2025.
“Bare Conductive was just the beginning,” it said, “As we step into this new chapter with LAIIER, we carry forward the same values, creativity, and drive that defined our origins. The challenges we now address—preventing damage, reducing costs, and promoting sustainability—are larger and more urgent than ever.”
