John Finley started his company MemPro Ceramics in Summit County, Colorado, and, because of the research being done at the University of Akron, now has offices in Summit County, Ohio. They've combined polymer processing with ceramic production to create an innovative nanotech filtration technology that captures particles and removes gaseous pollutants from the environment. Their ceramic filters work in everything from trucks and buses to lawnmowers to ocean liners. Their filters are even used in pharmaceuticals, food and beverages. Cool Cleveland's Thomas Mulready interviewed John Finely right after his company accepted a 2007 NorTech Innovation Award, and they talked about the history of his company, the challenges of finding capital, and the spirit of support in our region. It's nice to hear Finley say, "The attitude of folks in Northeast Ohio is very encouraging..." http://www.MemProCeramics.com
