About Borealis Solar Corporation

Carl Scianna
CEO

Carl Scianna, President & CEO, pioneered and patented the technology that serves as the cornerstone of Borealis product lines. This optical illumination technology, combining light emitting diodes (“LEDs”) with a unique polymer, intensifies and disperses light though a variety of lens shapes, sizes, flexes, and finishes. Most recently, this optical illumination technology has been used to develop Borealis first and follow-on generations of LED light bulbs and lighting systems for commercial and industrial applications. Carl oversees all aspects of Borealis operations, including research and development, product design, manufacturing, and quality control.

Carl has a successful history of innovation and invention while previously working in the compute, printing, and plastics industries. Among his many accomplishments, Carl developed a patented UV finish for plastics, providing unique chemical and scratch resistant properties and utilized throughout the world in the automotive, furniture, and medical industries. This UV finish was recently adopted by Hallmark for use in creating “Greeting Card mouse pads” for sales throughout the worldwide retail network.

Prior to merging the former Polybrite International with Goeken Group in 1995, Carl was one of Goeken’s key wireless experts, being responsible for the design and developments of the noise-reduction device for In-Flight Phone Corp. In addition, he also designed the electronic membrane switches and keypads for In-Flight Phone.

Earlier in his career, Carl was an owner of Panel Engineering where he was instrumental in developing components for Dolphin computer, the first high-powered computer in the market, producing revenues for Panel in excess of $200 million. In addition, Carl served as General Manager at Carl Gorr Printing Co. While at Gorr, Carl provided consulting services to Gneral Electric, during which he developed a special ink that can be used in many products, including automobiles, household appliances, and signs.

Carl also invented the micro-shell technology for the largest helmet manufacturer in the United States, Bell Helmets. This technology is used in every bicycle helmet made today throughout the world.
