No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest, by Shunk Laura F, was filed 06 Jun 2025.
This page follows insider dealings at SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. as filed with SEC (Form 4), a company from the Chemicals & Materials sector. Between 24 October 2025 and 24 October 2026, 2 insiders published 2 filings.
Not one of the filings records a straightforward purchase or sale on the market. Because grants and exercises are largely decided by remuneration plans, they are not counted as purchases here.
Across the 282 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 8 filings; at 2 filings, this issuer sits below that mark. The full history, which starts in 2006, counts 18 purchases against 19 sales. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 19.6 m USD and net income at 1.7 m USD.
Insider buying of SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. has been absent for the past year.
This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
Entry is the close on the day after publication, the first price a reader could act on. Prices in the listing currency. Past moves are not a forecast.
This score ranks the purchase within its own market. A position size is suggested only on the venues of the backtested strategy universe; elsewhere, signals stay on watch. Not investment advice.

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. is a United States-based specialty materials company focused on advanced thin-film materials and related niche applications. Its common stock currently trades on the OTCQB market under the symbol SCIA, rather than on the NYSE or NASDAQ. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, SCI designs and manufactures engineered materials used in sputtering, evaporation, diffusion bonding, toll processing, and other physical vapor deposition (PVD) applications. The company traces its origins to 1987, when the late Dr. Edward Funk and his wife Ingeborg founded the business. What began with superconductive materials later evolved into a broader industrial platform centered on ceramic, metal, and alloy products for high-technology end markets.
Over time, SCI built a technical niche in materials science rather than a scale-driven commodity model. Its product portfolio includes sputtering targets, rotatable targets, transparent conductive oxides, indium-based products, custom powders, evaporation sources, and specialty materials for advanced coatings. The company serves customers in the photonics ecosystem and adjacent markets such as aerospace, automotive, defense, glass, optical coatings, and solar. That market mix gives SCI a diversified end-use exposure within a focused technological lane, while also making it more dependent than large diversified peers on a limited number of customers and specific industry cycles.
From a competitive standpoint, SCI positions itself as a specialized supplier with know-how in custom formulations, manufacturing ramp-up, and application development. The company also emphasizes intellectual property, including patents related to transparent conductive oxide layers and high-efficiency rotatable sputter targets. This supports its differentiation strategy in markets where performance, reliability, and customer-specific engineering matter more than pure price competition. SCI’s strength is therefore less about market share dominance and more about being a responsive, technically credible partner in selected applications.
Recent developments have been important for investors tracking the name. In 2025, SCI introduced a new precious-metal rotatable target and an indium tin oxide product aimed at lowering total cost of ownership and addressing growing interest in domestic manufacturing. In early 2026, the company highlighted additional product introductions, including electrically conductive indium tin oxide and large-format rotatable targets up to three meters in length. Operationally, SCI reported that all debt was repaid in 2024 and that it remains debt-free while continuing to invest in manufacturing equipment to support growth. On the governance side, CFO Gerald S. Blaskie retired effective April 1, 2026, after a long tenure, and Shelby Yohn was appointed successor, indicating an orderly finance leadership transition. For investors, SCI remains a small-cap, niche United States materials company with a focused technology base, modest scale, and a strategy centered on product innovation and selective end-market expansion.
