This summer marks Creative Materials’ 25th anniversary. Founded in 1987, Creative Materials has stayed true to its mission to provide custom-formulated inks, adhesives, and coatings that are specifically designed to suit particular application needs. Now, with more than 1,000 unique standard products and still counting, Creative Materials can feel confident that it plays a solid role in a technology-driven market.
Creative Materials was founded by Silvio Morano in 1987 to address the need to provide custom-formulated high-performance materials for increasingly technical product requirements. Over the past quarter-century, the company has been successful in helping customers launch new products, improve product performance and pursue new entrepreneurial endeavors. Each of the company’s materials was developed in relation to a particular application need by an experienced team of application engineers and R&D specialists, guided by input from the end-user.
Morano, company president, began his career at Amicon Corporation, a pioneer in the polymer coatings industry, where he worked his way through the ranks, over his more than 20-year tenure, to director of conductive products. In 2004, Stuart Ganslaw joined the business as co-owner and vice president of business development. Ganslaw’s background includes more than 20 years in the specialty adhesive film and tape industry, as co-founder and owner of Coating Sciences, Inc. and ultimately as president and general manager of Scapa North America.
Creative Materials’s staff combines the talents of experienced chemical, mechanical and plastics engineers who have an in-depth understanding of polymeric materials and the properties and chemistries that can be achieved by combining them. In addition, it is an ISO 9001:2008-certified company, with a strong orientation to excellence, quality-assurance and customer satisfaction.
