NanoXplore Appoints Defense Industry Veteran to Advisory Board

MONTREAL, Oct. 05, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- NanoXplore Inc., a graphene company and the largest manufacturer and supplier of high-volume graphene powder for use in multiple end markets, today announced the creation of an Advisory Board for its subsidiary, VoltaXplore Inc. The Advisory Board will provide strategic guidance as VoltaXplore advances its battery manufacturing strategy. NanoXplore’s wholly owned subsidiary, VoltaXplore, has appointed Jonathan Blanshay, founder and CEO of Galvion Inc., as its inaugural member. Blanshay, a global defence company that designs, develops, and delivers advanced head systems, intelligent power and data management solutions, and integrated soldier systems, has a long history of defence innovation, developing and fielding technologies that address evolving operational requirements.

The appointment of Blanshay as the inaugural member of VoltaXplore’s Advisory Board marks a significant step in the company’s strategy to develop an advanced cylindrical-cell manufacturing capability. This capability is of real strategic value, both for Canada and for its allied partners, as it addresses the modern warfighter’s need for reliable, resilient power. Reliability and resilience are becoming increasingly critical for soldiers who are increasingly reliant on powered technologies.

Blanshay, who has built Galvion into a global defence company, understands how defence customers evaluate and adopt new technology. He has deep relationships across defence organizations in Canada, the United States, and allied nations, giving him direct insight into what soldiers need from batteries.

NanoXplore, which holds over 100 patents and patent applications protecting its intellectual property, products, and process knowledge, is one of a limited number of companies authorized to produce and sell graphene at commercial scale in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. The company is also one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of high-volume graphene powder for use in multiple end markets, with up to 5,000 tonnes of annual production capacity. NanoXplore manufactures silicon-graphene-enhanced Li-ion batteries for the energy storage, industrial, and defense markets.

The Advisory Board will play a crucial role in guiding VoltaXplore as it advances its battery manufacturing strategy.
