Nanovere was founded in 2003 by Thomas Choate. Twenty-one years earlier, Thomas began his scientific journey at age 16 while working for Progressive Dental Laboratory in Brighton, MI.  He began to develop skills in the art and science of manufacturing porcelain teeth (crowns), dental metallurgy, high heat ceramics and porcelain glazes. 

In 1986, Thomas founded Felix Dental Arts which focused on creating "life-like" dental prosthetics for local sport celebrities.

In 1989, Felix Dental Manufacturing was founded with a focus on developing specialty dental materials.  Felix developed the world's first polyurethane hybrid dental polymers with a thermal expansion of 0.05%, dental adhesives, super-hydrophobic coatings, mold release agents and educational study models for dentists and dental technicians.  Felix Dental was then sold to American Dental Supply (ADS) in PA. 

ADS continues to market the Felix branded products including Plastical, Petrosil & Diax globally to dental laboratories, dentists and Universities.

In 2003, Thomas founded Nanovere Technologies using key scientific concepts, materials and processes he invented for the dental industry. Nanovere began the development of highly scratch, chemical and UV resistant nanocoatings with self-cleaning properties. The technical challenge was to develop multi-functional nanocoatings that would outperform "all" leading automotive OEM coating competitors. 

After 5 years of extensive research and product development, Nanovere introduced the world's first Dendritic Polyurethane Coating systems in 2008.  Nanovere began working closely with leading organizations including GM, Jaguar, BMW, Boeing, Club Car & Polaris.

In 2009, Nanovere began joint development efforts with BASF, Bayer MaterialSciences, Accuride Truck Wheels and Sveza Les OOO based in Russia.  Nanovere's proprietary dendrimer based coating resins dramatically improve the overall physical properties of leading coating resins and formulated coating systems.

In 2011, Nanovere partnered with Nippon Paint in Asia under a global licensing agreement.  Nippon is the #1 paint manufacture in all of Asia and the 5th largest paint manufacture in the world. 

Today, Nippon manufactures and markets Nanovere's proprietary coating dendrimers to improve crosslink density, scratch resistance, chemical resistance and UV resistance within Nippon coating systems. 

Nippon markets the Nanovere dendrimer platform under trade name CyGlaz.

In 2012, Nanovere receives US patent grant US20080226829 for the world's first "Dendritic Polyurethane Coating" system.  Nanovere holds 2 global patents and 9 global patents pending. 

In 2013, Nanovere introduced the world's first air cure wipe-on clear coating platform to exceed automotive OEM specifications. The Nano-Clear product portfolio is manufactured by Nanovere in Brighton, Michigan and sold globally through distribution channels.
