Maxwell Technologies, Inc. (Maxwell), incorporated in 1965, develops, manufactures and markets energy storage and power delivery products for transportation, industrial, telecommunications and other applications and microelectronic products for space and satellite applications. The Company focuses on three lines of products: Ultracapacitors, High-Voltage Capacitors and Radiation-Mitigated Microelectronic Products. Its ultracapacitor products provide energy storage and power delivery solutions for applications in multiple industries, including transportation, automotive, information technology, renewable energy and industrial electronics. Its CONDIS high-voltage capacitors are designed and manufactured to perform reliably for decades in all climates. Its radiation-hardened microelectronic products for satellites and spacecraft include single board computers and components, such as high-density memory and power modules.
Ultracapacitors
The Company offers its ultracapacitors cells in cylindrical and prismatic form factors, ranging in capacitance from 1 to 3,000 farads. The Company has developed integration technologies, including electrical balancing and thermal management systems and interconnect technologies. It offers a range of standard multi-cell modules to provide fully integrated solutions for applications requiring up to 1,500 volts of power. Its standard multi-cell products each incorporate from 6 to 48 of its cells to provide plug and play solutions for applications requiring from 16 to 125 volts. In addition, its multi-cell modules are designed to be linked together for higher voltage applications. It produces 10-farad prismatic ultracapacitor cells its engine start module, on production lines in its San Diego facility. It produces electrode material for its own ultracapacitor products, and for sale to other ultracapacitor manufacturers, such as Yeong-Long Technologies Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Sanjiu Electric Equipment Company, Ltd.
The Company competes with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., NessCap Co., Ltd., W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc., LS Mtron and Groupe Bollore.
High-Voltage Capacitors
Electric utility infrastructure includes switches, circuit breakers, step-down transformers and measurement instruments that transmit, distribute and measure high-voltage electrical energy. The Company’s high-voltage capacitors are used to protect these systems from high-voltage arcing. Its high-voltage capacitors are produced through a assembly and automated winding process. The Company produces its high-voltage grading and coupling capacitors in its Rossens, Switzerland facility. It sells its high-voltage capacitor products to systems integrators, which install and service power plants and electrical utility infrastructure worldwide.
The Company competes with Trench Limited and Hochspannungsgerate Porz GmbH.
Radiation-Mitigated Microelectronics Products
The Company designs, manufactures and markets radiation-mitigated microelectronic products, including single-board computers and components, such as memory and power modules, for the space and satellite markets. It designs and manufactures products that enable satellite and spacecraft manufacturers to use semiconductors that are protected with the level of radiation mitigation required for performance in the specific orbit or environment in which they are to be deployed. All of its ultracapacitor electrode material is produced at its San Diego facility. Its microelectronics production operations include die characterization, packaging and electrical, environmental and life testing.
The Company competes with Honeywell Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, BAE Systems, National Semiconductor Corporation, Analog Devices Inc., Temic Instruments B.V., Austin Semiconductor, Inc., Microsemi Corporation and Teledyne Technologies, Inc.
