Nanotech Energy manufactures graphene and produces non-flammable, graphene-based batteries and related conductive materials. Its product portfolio includes graphene, graphene-based conductive inks, adhesives, EMI shielding, silver nanowires, transparent conducting electrodes, printed electronics, conductive epoxy and antistatic coatings. The company plans international expansion, including launching an EU headquarters in Amsterdam. It also plans a new high-volume graphene battery manufacturing facility in Reno, Nevada, expected to open in late 2022. Nanotech intends to increase capacity at its Chico, California factory to scale production of graphene and related products. As of the reported round, the company had raised $94.9M in total funding to date. Nanotech Energy is a Los Angeles-based supplier of graphene-based energy storage products. Founded in 2014 by Jack Kavanaugh (chairman and CEO) alongside UCLA scientists Dr. Richard Kaner and Dr. Maher El-Kady, the company develops graphene-enabled components for batteries and conductive materials. Its product applications include batteries, transparent conducting electrodes, conductive inks, printed electronics, conductive epoxy, antistatic coatings and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. The company closed a $27.5M Series C at a $227.5M post-money valuation. Nanotech plans to use the funds to expand production of graphene batteries and to scale manufacturing of conductive epoxies, conductive inks, and EMI shielding spray paints and films.
