Cerion NanomaterialsFounded in 2007 on precipitation-based manufacturing expertise developed over decades at Eastman Kodak, Rochester’s Cerion Nanomaterials designs, scales and manufactures custom inorganic nanoparticles for industrial products and systems. Its scientists build metal, metal oxide and ceramic nanomaterials from the ground up, controlling particle size and other technical attributes rather than offering off-the-shelf materials. Cerion’s Eastman Business Park plant has grown from 5 to more than 150 metric tons of annual capacity, supporting customers in more than 40 industries from proof of concept through commercialization.ROCHESTER, NY
ChromaNanoTech LLCBorn in 2014 at the Binghamton University Incubator, ChromaNanoTech LLC formulates and produces patented light-absorbing nanoparticles for use in plastics, liquids and other materials. Its additives are engineered to disperse readily, retain strong optical absorption and withstand high processing temperatures, with applications ranging from metal additive printing to selective light filtration. Based in the university’s Center of Excellence, the company also performs contract research and development on light-absorbing products and laser-processing materials.VESTAL, NY
