Fueled by growing demand for its thermal management hardware and services, ThermAvant Technologies will more than quadruple its engineering and manufacturing space. The firm is opening a 33,000 sq. ft. facility at 2508 Paris Road in Columbia, MO.
"Founded in 2007, ThermAvant is expanding rapidly as aero-defense and technology customers adopt its oscillating heat pipe technology into their platforms," said a company spokesperson. "Today, ThermAvant serves the avionics, spacecraft, computer, radar and telecommunications industries. The firm has also been engaged by leading agencies, including the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), NASA, National Science Foundation, Army Research Laboratory, Office of Naval Research and the Missile Defense Agency."
"After nearly a decade of sustained R&D, we started selling our first commercial products in 2017. Now, we are scaling up engineering and production as quickly as we can," said ThermAvant CEO Joe Boswell. "There has been a decline in Midwest manufacturing. It has been encouraging to buck that trend with the opening of our new facility."
In 2018, ThermAvant received $400,000 in funding from Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC), a public-private partnership created by the Missouri General Assembly to promote entrepreneurship and foster the growth of new and emerging high-tech companies. "People generally associate technological innovation with Silicon Valley, New York or Boston," said Bill Vega, Interim Executive Director of MTC. "But, as ThermAvant demonstrates, there are exciting developments taking place in the Heartland."
"In that same year, ThermAvant and the AFRL were selected as an R&D 100 Award winner for the development of oscillating heat pipes for high-power electronics thermal management. An independent panel of judges deemed this work as one of the 100 most technologically significant new products of the year," said the spokesperson.
