- California Nanotechnologies Corp. (CNO.V) develops and commercializes advanced nanomaterials and nanotechnology-enabled products for thermal management, energy storage, and high-performance composites. The company offers aluminum-based metal matrix composites including aluminum-scandium alloys, nano-functionalized metal powders, and thermal interface materials such as nanoAl composites for heat dissipation; it also provides consulting services in nanotechnology applications and custom material development for aerospace, defense, automotive, and electronics sectors. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Cerritos, California, the company operates primarily in North America with research and production facilities in the United States and partnerships extending to international markets in Europe and Asia. Subsidiaries include American Elements, which supplies a range of nanomaterials and alloys, supporting CNO's focus on scandium-enhanced materials for lightweight structural components. In the past two years, California Nanotechnologies has expanded through strategic alliances with aerospace manufacturers for scandium alloy testing, launched new nanoAl thermal management solutions for electric vehicle batteries, and secured funding for scaling production of high-strength nanocomposites amid growing demand in sustainable energy applications.
