Partnership with Kaimei Electronic to Promote B-TRAN Technology Across Key Power Electronics Sectors
Ideal Power (IPWR), a leading innovator in power semiconductor technology, has announced a strategic distribution agreement with Kaimei Electronic Corp., a prominent manufacturer of electrolytic capacitors, resistors, and motor fans. This partnership marks a significant step forward in expanding Ideal Power’s global footprint, particularly in the high-growth Asian power electronics market.
Under the agreement, Kaimei will distribute Ideal Power’s flagship B-TRAN bidirectional semiconductor power switch to its extensive customer base across Asia. The B-TRAN product line, which will be Kaimei’s first as a third-party distributor, is designed to dramatically increase energy efficiency across a range of applications including industrial, automotive, renewable energy, energy storage, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and electric vehicle (EV) charging.
Kaimei brings decades of success and established sales channels in more than 60 countries, with deep expertise in serving customers in the very sectors Ideal Power targets. By integrating B-TRAN technology into Kaimei’s product portfolio, both companies aim to accelerate market adoption and generate new revenue opportunities in one of the fastest-growing regions for power electronics.
“We are excited to enter into this distribution partnership with Kaimei,” said Dan Brdar, President and CEO of Ideal Power. “Asia is the world’s largest market for power electronics, and Kaimei already serves customers in B-TRAN’s key target markets. Asian companies tend to adopt new technologies more rapidly, and this partnership positions us well to drive revenue growth and secure additional B-TRAN design wins.”
The collaboration also aligns with Ideal Power’s asset-light business model, which focuses on leveraging existing infrastructure in silicon processing, packaging, and distribution. This approach enables the company to concentrate on advancing its disruptive B-TRAN technology while maintaining operational efficiency.
With Kaimei’s regional expertise and Ideal Power’s breakthrough innovation, the partnership is set to unlock new commercial opportunities and strengthen Ideal Power’s presence in the global power semiconductor market.
