Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
NanoXplore Inc. is a Canadian advanced materials company specializing in the development, production, and commercialization of graphene-based materials and graphene-enhanced plastic and composite products. The company operates at the intersection of the advanced materials, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing industries, with a core focus on improving the mechanical, thermal, electrical, and barrier properties of polymers through the integration of graphene. Its primary revenue drivers are the sale of graphene materials and the manufacture of graphene-enhanced plastic compounds and finished parts for industrial customers.
The company serves customers across automotive, transportation, packaging, consumer products, electronics, and industrial markets. NanoXplore’s strategic positioning is based on its vertically integrated model, combining in-house graphene production with downstream compounding and product manufacturing, which is designed to reduce costs, improve material consistency, and accelerate customer adoption. Founded in 2011, NanoXplore initially focused on graphene research and scale-up before expanding into commercial manufacturing, including the acquisition of plastics manufacturing assets to support full-scale industrial deployment.
Business Operations
NanoXplore generates revenue through two primary operating segments: Graphene Materials and Graphene-Enhanced Plastics and Products. The Graphene Materials segment focuses on the large-scale production and sale of graphene powder, primarily supplied to industrial partners for use in plastics, coatings, batteries, and other applications. The graphene is produced using proprietary processes designed for high-volume, cost-efficient manufacturing.
The Graphene-Enhanced Plastics and Products segment includes compounding, injection molding, and the manufacture of engineered plastic products incorporating graphene. Operations are conducted through NanoXplore Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Plasticomp Inc., which provides custom polymer compounding and molded components. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United States and maintains commercial relationships with multinational industrial customers. NanoXplore has also established development partnerships with original equipment manufacturers to co-develop application-specific materials.
Strategic Position & Investments
NanoXplore’s strategy centers on scaling graphene adoption by embedding it into high-volume plastic applications where performance improvements can be clearly quantified and economically justified. Growth initiatives include expanding production capacity, increasing penetration in the automotive lightweighting market, and broadening the use of graphene-enhanced plastics in sustainable packaging and electrification-related components.
A major strategic milestone was the acquisition of Plasticomp Inc., which transformed NanoXplore from a materials supplier into an integrated manufacturer with direct access to end-use markets. The company has also invested significantly in production infrastructure, including one of the largest graphene powder production facilities in North America, and continues to invest in process optimization and application development. Emerging areas of focus include electric vehicle components, recyclable and lightweight composites, and advanced barrier materials.
Geographic Footprint
NanoXplore is headquartered in Canada, with its corporate headquarters located in Montreal, Quebec. Its primary manufacturing and research operations are based in Canada and the United States, supporting customers across North America. Through export sales and multinational customer relationships, the company also has market exposure in Europe and parts of Asia, particularly for automotive and industrial applications.
The company’s geographic strategy emphasizes proximity to major manufacturing hubs and automotive supply chains, allowing for collaborative product development and efficient logistics. While North America remains its core market, NanoXplore continues to pursue international commercial opportunities through partnerships and customer-led expansion rather than large-scale foreign direct investment.
Leadership & Governance
NanoXplore was founded by Soroush Nazarpour, who has played a central role in shaping the company’s technology-driven and vertically integrated strategy. The leadership team emphasizes disciplined capital allocation, industrial scalability, and close collaboration with customers to drive long-term adoption of graphene-enhanced materials.
Key executives include:
- Soroush Nazarpour – Founder, President & Chief Executive Officer
- Pierre Laurin – Chief Financial Officer
- Francis Bellido – Vice President, Sales and Marketing
- Luc Gagnon – Vice President, Engineering and Operations
- Eric Desaulniers – General Manager, Plasticomp Inc.
The board and management team maintain a governance approach aligned with public-market standards, with oversight informed by disclosure obligations under SEC filings and Canadian securities regulations, and a stated focus on sustainable growth and operational execution.
