Atmospheric Plasma Solutions (APS) is structured around development of the next generation of coating removal solutions for hard-to-remove coatings.. The firm has harnessed the power of plasma for treating surfaces and removing industrial polymeric coatings from a wide range of surfaces found in aviation, marine, and civil applicationss. Removing coatings or rust from surfaces to prep them for recoating had previously been tedious, time-consuming and even unsafe. Anchored in work of the firm's founder while he was a PhD student at North Carolina State, the firm focused on, designed and built high-performance plasma power supplies and delivery systems that harness plasma’s power. The APS team pursued plasma science research and developed a rich portfolio of IP and initial products. The firm designed and built high-performance plasma power supplies and delivery systems that harness plasma’s power - buiding systems that can efficiently and safely remove industrial polymeric coatings found in aviation, marine and civil applications. By 2016 when the now-CEO joined the company, the shift was begun to steer APS toward developing industrial-grade products. Today, APS products are in use on 4 continents by customers including, but not limited to, the US Navy, US Army, pharmaceutical manufacturers and other Fortune 100 firms. APS continues to conduct advanced plasma research in partnership with leading private companies and federal agenci
