David Mather is the CEO and Chairman of NxLite, a clean-tech company making nano-thin, air-stable energy and solar control coatings for glass, acrylic and polycarbonate windows. Appointed in February 2024 to lead the former 3E Nano through commercialization, he brings decades of executive experience across technology and clean-tech companies including Alegion, MTPV Power Corporation, Hoovers, Hewlett Packard and Compaq. Under his leadership NxLite launched its L80 low-E sputter coating, opened a 45,000-square-foot manufacturing center in Canton, Michigan, and raised a Series A that expanded to $13.1 million to scale production of coatings aimed at cutting the energy lost through windows.
NxLite
NxLite (formerly 3E Nano) makes next-generation, transparent energy-control coatings for glass and lightweight polymers. Spun out of the University of Toronto in 2015, the company's patented nano-thin, low-emissivity and solar-control coatings are air-stable and can be applied to glass, acrylic (PMMA) and polycarbonate, cutting the heat that windows gain or lose. NxLite sells to window and door makers, refrigeration and transportation manufacturers, and building-retrofit customers, and runs a 45,000-square-foot Advanced Innovation & Manufacturing (AIM) Center in Canton, Michigan.
