The company's location, just north of Dayton in Clayton, Ohio affords easy access to I-70 and the Dayton International Airport. The facilities – which were expanded in 2002 – are equipped with an electrochemical engineering and corrosion engineering research laboratory, as well as a large prototype manufacturing area. Faraday utilizes an in-house, small-scale machine shop for prototype fabrication requirements and also offers complete CAD design and controls engineering services.

Historically, manufacturing processes in numerous industries have been protected only by trade-secrets and know-how. However, in this increasingly competitive market, suppliers are in a unique position to influence a market's growth and to command a significant market share if they have patent protection. Faraday can work with you to develop that needed intellectual property.

Dr. E. Jennings Taylor uniquely blends 20 years entrepreneurial business experience with demonstrated skills in technology innovation and intellectual asset analysis. Prior to forming Faraday, Dr. Taylor held positions at Giner, Inc. as the Manager of Fuel Cell Research (1982-1985), and at Physical Sciences where he held numerous positions including the Manager of Electrochemical Technologies (1985-1991). In 1991 Jennings left Boston to form Faraday Technology Inc. He successfully secured start-up funding and from 1991-1997 served as the Principal Investigator on many of Faraday’s early research projects. In 1997, Dr. Taylor shifted his emphasis from research to strategic corporate direction and technology portfolio management. In order to facilitate the development of an intellectual property portfolio, he studied to become a Patent Agent and in February, 2003 was granted the status of registered agent with the Patent and Trademark office. Dr. Taylor applies this skill to develop patent portfolios that can benefit potential customers. Jennings is well recognized in both the professional and business community. He has authored a monthly column on Emerging Technologies of Interest in a publication of the American Electroplaters and Surface Finishers Society; is a Member of the Board of Governors for the Edison Materials Technology Center, holds a position on the Technical Steering Committee of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers/ North American Research Institute, and is a member of the SBIR Advisory Board of the National Science Foundation.

Dr. Maria Inman is the Research Director at Faraday. Dr. Inman leads Faraday’s research and development function. In addition to providing day to day direction to the science and engineering staff at Faraday, Dr. Inman has served as Principal Investigator on millions of dollars worth of government and commercially-funded projects and serves as an integral member of Faraday’s internal strategic planning and IP management group. Dr. Inman has been on staff at Faraday for 12 of its 16 years in business.
