About Astera
Pioneering industrial-scale graphene production from 1 World Trade Center in Long Beach, California.
Our Story
Founded in 2021, Astera Technologies emerged from breakthrough research at leading California nanotechnology institutes. Our founding team—materials scientists, chemical engineers, and semiconductor industry veterans—saw the gap between laboratory graphene and industrial-scale production.
We built Astera to bridge that gap. Today, we supply graphene to research institutions, Fortune 500 companies, and cutting-edge startups developing next-generation batteries, composites, and electronics.
Our name reflects our mission: "Astera" (Greek for star) represents our aim to light the way for graphene commercialization—turning a Nobel Prize-winning discovery into practical, scalable materials science.
