  Orem, Utah Xonano replaces high cost and inflexible sensors with a self-sensing piezoelectric smartfoam. These sensors replace “dumb” material with “smart” material. The Xonano solution empowers our customers to gather data through technologically advanced sensors that can be directly integrated into the final products without the customer noticing them.

  Orem, Utah XOcomfort provides engineered foam products that increase the comfort of the user. XOcomfort foam is currently used in beds and pillows but will soon be introduced to other comfort surfaces. When our additives are included when making the foam we make the foam more thermally responsive reducing the time and energy required to heat up and cool the surface. This technology has been years in the making and is now finally available to our customers.
