Gary Johnson
President and CEO, Thin Battery Technologies

Beginning in 2002, private investors, led by Early Stage Partners, acquired intellectual property from Eveready Battery Company regarding printable carbon-zinc batteries. The patented IP was the result of over five years of research and development at Eveready. Thin Battery Technologies, Inc. (TBT) was founded in 2003 to commercialize and progress the technology. By 2005, "Thin Battery Technologies" had established robust product from large-scale production and delivered commercial product to satisfied customers. These accomplishments allow "Thin Battery Technologies" to move into the commercial launch of their plan.

Our Vision: Global mega-trends of portability, connectivity, tracking, safety, environmental protection, automation and do-it-yourself healthcare are driving innovations in flat, flexible, functional devices like RFID (radio frequency identification devices), data loggers, drug delivery patches, sensors and displays. These new devices, sometimes referred to as "smart active labels," hold urgent need for safe and form function power sources.

Gary Johnson, President and CEO, has previous experience in leading Sawyer Research Products, Inc., a Cleveland-based international technology company, to a market-leading position. He has also led new opportunities in executive, director and advisory roles with early stage technologies ventures.

Gary holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University and a MS in Industrial Administration from the Krannert Graduate School of Management at Purdue University.
