The Novara™ Story

Novara™ isn't just entering an industry space; we're replacing it.

Born out of the Ohio State University's tech campus, Novara™ started with the simple idea that heat needed to be more accesible to more people and more industries, and in more flexible ways.

Thus, the idea of Heat Anywhere was born. Applications for EV batteries, vehicle interior heating, wearables, architectural, industrial, medical, and so many more started to come into sharp focus.

Having started by using coatings as the base material for Novara, the team quickly realized that a film-based application was not only more flexible from a solutions standpoint, but also easier to scale for larger applications.

At that point, partnering with film-based manufacturing experts, Entrotech, and science and technology leader, Battelle, allowed Novara™ to take R&D and make it a reality.

Our Vision

To deliver advanced materials that perform and define the next era of embedded innovation, trusted across industries where precision, protection and system-level integration matter most.
