Integrated Micro-Electronics, Inc. (IMI), a leading global technology and electronics manufacturing solutions expert based in the Philippines, and Lithos Energy, Inc., a world leading manufacturer of high-performance lithium-ion battery systems engineered for demanding environments based in California, USA have forged a partnership to build electronics systems for their family of battery products in the Philippines.
The strategic manufacturing collaboration involves design for manufacturability to ensure high volume consistency, manufacturing of printed circuit boards, box builds and the solid global footprint that will allow regional expansion in the marketplace.
"We look forward to such an amazing collaboration to help bring their innovative battery systems to the world. This partnership aligns with our commitment to supporting world leading manufacturers in their growth and sustainability efforts while providing high-quality manufacturing services," said Arthur R. Tan, chief executive officer of IMI. “It will be our small but meaningful contribution in boosting our country’s economic recovery and help provide more jobs,” added Tan.
“We are very pleased to have found the right partner in IMI. Their manufacturing experience and proven performance with electrified products will further accelerate Lithos’ capacity expansion. We’re excited to launch this relationship and, together, build a cleaner electrified future for the construction, mining, marine and off-road industries,” asserted James Meredith, chief executive officer of Lithos Energy.
Mass production is projected to start on the 4th quarter of this year.
In 2023, Lithos Energy launched their latest generation of high voltage and low voltage battery pack solutions in its state-of-the-art production facility in Silicon Valley. The company manufactures various battery packs and is developing the next generation technology for industry-leading OEM’s.
IMI continues to drive collaborative partnerships while enabling sustainable solutions with the company’s experience and expertise.

Advocacy: There’s No Time to Waste
05/21/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn the late 1990s, I worked for a PCB company ardently working to build manufacturing presences in Malaysia, Taiwan, and eventually China’s mainland. For some of us who had the resources, we followed our OEM customers offshore as they began demanding increasingly greater price concessions from their stateside suppliers. The government was not coming to the rescue of the PCB manufacturer, so we rode the changing economic tide as it turned unwaveringly toward globalism and cheaper labor.
Marcy’s Musings: The ‘Magic’ of Additive Processes
05/21/2024 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsThough modern semi-additive and fully additive technologies are still emerging for PCB manufacturing, additive technology itself is not new. Many PCB fabricators find themselves at a crossroads when deciding whether to change their current processes and go additive or stay the course until something significant compels a change. But change is on the horizon, and it seems to be driven by significant technological advancements in chips and advanced packaging, offering PCB fabricators some additive manufacturing solutions to explore.
