Graphene Nanotube Leader OCSiAl appoints Marvel Ex CEO Peter Cuneo as Chairman
OCSiAl, the global leader in the industrial synthesis of graphene nanotubes, announces the appointment of Peter Cuneo as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
As President and CEO of Marvel Entertainment, Cuneo orchestrated the legendary turnaround of a just-out-of-bankruptcy, struggling superhero franchise to an entertainment industry powerhouse, with the stock price rising from a low of $0.96 to $54 per share paid by Disney in 2009, OCSiAl states. Cuneo’s career also includes such roles as President and CEO of Remington Products, President of Black & Decker’s Security Hardware Group and President of Bristol Myers Squibb pharmaceuticals group in Canada.
Proven Track Record of Investment
Cuneo brings to OCSiAl his wealth of strategic leadership experience and a proven track record of investment in many industries. He said, “I am thrilled to be joining OCSiAl which has the potential to become a world leader in nanotechnology.” Konstantin Notman, CEO of OCSiAl, commented, "I am delighted to welcome Peter to the Board. His depth of experience and strategic leadership are exactly what OCSiAl needs as it looks forward to the next steps in its rise from a unicorn tech company to a global player."
OCSiAl is dedicated to enhancing select properties of all base materials used by the global industry. The company develops universal nanotube solutions that allow its customers to add nanotubes to materials as part of standard manufacturing processes. Collaborating with customers and partners, the company creates new generations of nano-augmented materials and end products that have previously unattainable properties. These groundbreaking products are expected to set new market standards and can play a crucial role in accelerating the transition to a carbon-neutral future.
About OCSiAl
OCSiAl claims to be the world’s largest manufacturer of graphene nanotubes, owning the only scalable technology capable of synthesizing them in industrial volumes. A graphene nanotube, also known as a single wall carbon nanotube, is a rolled-up sheet of graphene. OCSiAl produces high-purity graphene nanotubes under the brand name TUBALL™. The advantages of TUBALL™ nanotubes in comparison with standard additives are related to their unique combination of properties, including high electrical and thermal conductivity, strength and flexibility, which allow them to significantly improve up to 50% of all materials on the global market. To simplify nanotube handling, OCSiAl has developed TUBALL™-based solutions for various applications, including electrochemical power sources, elastomers, composites, plastics, paints and coatings. For example, TUBALL™ BATT, an ultrafine dispersion of graphene nanotubes in liquid carriers, is a ready-to-use solution designed for high-energy anodes and cathodes, enhancing the energy density and durability of batteries. The TUBALL™ MATRIX nanotube concentrate product line was specifically designed to provide superior electrical conductivity and enhance the mechanical properties of various elastomers, thermosets and thermoplastics. Headquartered in Luxembourg, OCSiAl is represented throughout Europe, the US, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan and India. OCSiAl collaborates with more than 1,500 companies in over 50 countries worldwide.
