Forge Nano is a technology company based in Thornton, Colorado, that specializes in atomic-scale material engineering. The company developed a proprietary platform technology known as Atomic Armor, which utilizes Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) to apply protective, uniform nano-scale coatings to materials. By executing a precise sequence of gas pulses and purges, the process forms thin, pinhole-free layers at the atomic level, effectively enhancing properties such as conductivity, thermal stability, and durability without adding significant weight or complexity to the underlying systems. Forge Nano operates as a vertically integrated manufacturer, producing both the ALD equipment and the end-product materials, such as lithium-ion batteries, using a predominantly U.S.-based supply chain.

The company's technology is critical for high-value industries, including defense, energy storage, and semiconductor manufacturing. By applying Atomic Armor, Forge Nano helps customers mitigate production yield losses in AI-era chips, increase the life and safety of battery cells, and improve the reliability of aerospace and defense hardware. The company serves as a strategic provider of domestic infrastructure for these sectors, with a portfolio of over 200 patents supporting its commercial operations. Through its specialized equipment and material solutions, Forge Nano works to solve performance limits that traditional chemical approaches cannot address, enabling advancements in data centers, quantum computing, and advanced communications infrastructure.
