OUR STORY
Novum Nano was founded by veterans who understand that mission success depends on preparation, precision and performance. Built on a foundation of service, integrity and engineering discipline, we apply advanced nanotechnology to solve complex operational challenges.
Our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement drives every solution we deliver. As a trusted partner to defense and aerospace organizations, we are strengthening readiness today while engineering the technologies that will define tomorrow.
Military Service: It's our Value System
The principles forged through military service—leadership, accountability, discipline, and mission focus—remain embedded in Novum Nano. These values shape how we think, how we build, and how we deliver. From engineering and product development to client engagement and execution, we operate with a relentless commitment to performance and readiness. Our firsthand understanding of defense environments enables us to create solutions that are not only innovative—but practical, efficient, and reliable under real-world conditions.
South Dakota Roots: Built on Community
Headquartered in Rapid City, South Dakota, Novum Nano is proud to be rooted in a community defined by resilience, collaboration, and shared purpose. Drawn to the Black Hills and the state’s strong culture of partnership, our founders have built enduring relationships with regional leaders, organizations, and industry partners. Through collaboration with entities such as the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and established manufacturers, Novum has secured critical resources and strengthened its capacity to innovate. Our South Dakota foundation reflects who we are—practical, connected, and committed to long-term impact.
Looking Ahead: Scaling for the Future
Novum Nano stands at a pivotal stage of growth. As our technologies mature and market adoption accelerates, we are preparing to scale our capabilities nationally and internationally—expanding both reach and impact. Central to this next chapter is our commitment to building a culture of ownership through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). By aligning long-term success with employee investment, we are strengthening accountability, driving innovation, and building an organization designed for enduring leadership in advanced defense technologies.
Giving Back: Service Beyond Business
At Novum Nano, success is measured not only by performance—but by impact. Guided by a lifelong commitment to service, our founders actively support initiatives that strengthen veterans, families, and the communities we serve. From advancing veterans’ programs to contributing to local economic development, Novum invests in efforts that create opportunity, generate jobs, and build long-term prosperity. Our commitment to service extends beyond our technologies—it defines how we lead.
