Applied NanoWorks moves forward with the next stage of growth in nanomaterials production, announcing the addition of Tim Ullman as Operations Manager.

Applied NanoWorks, Inc. has begun their next stage of growth by announcing the addition of Tim Ullman to the management team as Operations Manager, with the responsibility of taking the lab scale processes for nano-scale materials and implementing the first production scale equipment and trials. The first product to be scaled up is the company’s Pinnacle Titanium Dioxide, which is sold as a dispersion of 5 nanometer particles in water. The company is also evaluating a number of sites for a material production and application development facility. Currently, the search is focused in the Albany, NY region. Interest in the material runs high among the coatings, integrated circuit and additives industries.

This growth comes on the heels of the company’s $2MM funding influx from High Peaks Ventures and FA Technology Ventures in February, 2006 to support commercialization efforts. A recent $700,000 grant by the New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research to the University of Albany will fund research looking at using Applied NanoWorks materials as nano-scale abrasives for integrated circuit manufacture.
