nanomanufacturing technical

Nanomanufacturing is the process of designing and producing materials, components or devices at the scale of atoms and molecules—think of assembling LEGO pieces a million times smaller than a grain of sand. It matters to investors because mastering this tiny-scale production can create products with better performance, lower weight or new capabilities, but also involves high technical risk, capital investment and scaling challenges that affect a company’s costs, competitiveness and future revenue potential.

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Materion Corporation (NYSE: MTRN) is pleased to announce the appointment of Thomas Edman to the Company’s Board of Directors, expanding the Board to 10 members. Mr. Edman joins as the ninth independent director, effective January 21, 2026.

Prior to his role as CEO, he served as President since 2013 and has been a member of its Board of Directors since 2004.
