Background

Founded by James R. Von Ehr II in 1997, Zyvex was the first molecular nanotechnology company. Von Ehr’s business acumen, determination, and financial support have enabled Zyvex to become the most publicized private nanotechnology business in the world and the most highly regarded company in the field of molecular assemblers. Von Ehr himself is widely respected as one of the world’s top nanotechnology industry leaders.

Zyvex Instruments’ vision is to help our customers understand the world at a different scale — and unlock new technologies for the future. We provide tools, instrumentation, and applications to serve the semiconductor and advanced research markets.

Our staff is focused on both short and long-term nanotechnology applications with high-growth potential to guarantee our success as a driving force in our field.

Our potential customer base includes all manufacturing and assembly industries. The company is targeting specific applications in the Aerospace/Defense, Electronics/Semiconductor, and Medical/HealthCare industries. Our short- to intermediate-term goal is to exploit the major improvements—often 10–1,000 times better than existing technology—offered by today’s early-stage nanotechnology developments.

Zyvex also has three other sister companies, which were spun out of the original corporation in April 2007: Zyvex Performance Materials, Zyvex Labs, and Zyvex Asia.

Zyvex is one of the few firms that generate revenue and is regarded as a nanotechnology business — as evidenced by continual invitations to speak at the country’s top business schools. To see a complete timeline of our progress, click here.
