GoGoNano Recognised as Silver Supporter of National Defence

GoGoNano has once again been recognised by the Estonian Ministry of Defence with the Silver Level “Supporter of National Defence” recognition in 2026. This marks our second consecutive Silver Level award, following our Silver recognition in 2025 and Bronze recognition in 2024. For us, the repeated recognition matters because it shows that supporting Estonia’s national defenders is not a one-time campaign, but a long-term commitment.

GoGoNano as a Supporter of National Defence

GoGoNano is an Estonian company that develops and manufactures environmentally friendly nanotechnology-based surface protection and cleaning products. Our products are built around protection: helping surfaces, materials, and everyday items last longer. The same mindset shapes how we think about society. A strong Estonia also needs people and companies willing to protect what matters most: our country, our freedom, and our communities.

“Just as we create technologies that protect surfaces and materials from wear and tear, we believe we also have a responsibility to support the people who help protect Estonia,” says GoGoNano CEO Kaur Reinjärv. “National defence is a shared responsibility. Several members of our team are reservists, and their contribution is deeply valued. Receiving the Silver Level recognition again in 2026 is a great honour for the whole team and a sign that consistent action matters.”

What Is the Supporter of National Defence Recognition?

The “Supporter of National Defence” recognition is awarded by the Estonian Ministry of Defence to employers and organisations that make a meaningful contribution to Estonia’s national defence by supporting the people who serve. It highlights companies that help reservists, active service members, members of the Estonian Defence League, veterans, and other national defenders fulfil their role with greater security and confidence.

Employer support can take different forms: preserving income during reserve training, offering flexible work arrangements, providing discounts or other benefits to national defenders, supporting veterans, or valuing military and national defence experience in the workplace. The recognition is awarded at Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels depending on the scope and consistency of the organisation’s contribution.

Our Recognition Over the Years

GoGoNano’s journey as a recognised supporter has been steady:

2024: GoGoNano received the Bronze Level recognition.
2025: GoGoNano received the Silver Level recognition.
2026: GoGoNano received the Silver Level recognition again.

This progression is meaningful to us because national defence support is most valuable when it is reliable. Reservists and members of the Defence League need employers who understand their role and make it easier for them to take part in training, service, and the wider defence of Estonia.

What This Recognition Means in Practice

For GoGoNano, supporting national defence means taking practical steps that go beyond the minimum required by law:

Preserving salary during reserve training: We preserve salary for employees taking part in reserve training, so serving Estonia does not create unnecessary financial pressure at work or at home.
Offering flexibility when duty calls: We make room for reserve training and national defence duties in our work planning, so employees can prepare, serve, and return with clarity.
Recognising national defenders year-round: We offer a permanent 20% discount on all GoGoNano products for all reservists and active service members.
Keeping the topic visible: We speak about national defence support in our communications because employer awareness is part of a stronger defence culture.

For Reservists and Active Service Members

If you are a reservist or active service member, you can use a 20% year-round discount on all GoGoNano products. The discount applies across our full product range, from surface protection solutions to cleaning and care products.

Why Employer Support Matters

Estonia’s national defence relies on a reserve army, which means employers have an important role in helping reservists stay prepared. When a company supports employees during reserve training, keeps income stable, offers flexibility, or values defence-related experience, it directly strengthens Estonia’s defence readiness.

That is why the Silver Level recognition is not an endpoint for us. It is encouragement to continue and to keep improving. We want to be the kind of employer and Estonian company that treats national defence support as part of responsible business, not as an exception.

How Other Employers Can Support National Defence

Supporting national defence does not only belong to large organisations. Every employer can help build a stronger defence culture through practical, human decisions. Good first steps include:

Preserve income during reserve training: Salary continuity gives reservists confidence that fulfilling their duty will not come at the expense of their household finances.
Plan work with reserve training in mind: Clear communication, flexible scheduling, and supportive managers make it easier for employees to take part in training without unnecessary stress.
Recognise defence experience as valuable: Service builds discipline, responsibility, teamwork, and readiness under pressure. These are strengths in any workplace.
Offer practical benefits where possible: Discounts, services, equipment support, or other benefits for national defenders are concrete ways to show respect and gratitude.

A Thank You to Our Team and Partners

We are grateful to everyone in our team, especially those who serve in the Estonian Defence Forces, the reserve, or the Estonian Defence League. Your commitment reminds us why this support matters.

We also thank our customers and partners who understand these values. GoGoNano is proud to carry the Silver Level “Supporter of National Defence” recognition again in 2026, and we will continue doing our part for a safer, stronger Estonia.
