NanoDynamics, headquartered in Buffalo, NY, is a fully integrated technology and manufacturing company utilizing nanoscale engineering and materials to address some of the world's biggest challenges. The company's research and business units, including ND Innovations, ND Materials, ND Products, MetaMateria Partners and ND Life Sciences, provide nano-enabled solutions in the fields of energy, automotive, water processing, life sciences, electronics, advanced materials and consumer products.
NanoDynamics believes the future applications of nanotechnology will rely heavily on the commercial development of nanomaterials — metals, ceramics, and composite materials that are produced at the nanoscale, but which are ultimately available in commercial volumes and at affordable prices. NanoDynamics has established true commercial operations in a 40,000 square foot facility in Buffalo, NY, where scale-up and volume manufacturing of these new materials can be accomplished in a reliable and economical fashion.
