About
Forge Nano is a materials science and advanced manufacturing company founded in 2013 by Paul Lichty and headquartered in Thornton, Colorado (near Denver). The company is a pioneer in the commercialization of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) at industrial scale — a nanoscale coating process that deposits ultra-thin, conformal films of material (typically one to a few atoms thick) on the surface of powders, parts, and substrates. ALD coatings can dramatically alter the surface chemistry and performance characteristics of materials without changing their bulk properties, making them valuable across applications in battery electrode materials, semiconductors, oil and gas components, and specialty industrial parts.
