Smoltek initiates MoU-negotiations for joint development of ultra-thin capacitors

Smoltek and the subsidiary Smoltek Semi has extended its evaluation license agreement with a global manufacturer of passive components. The parties will also define and agree upon the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding for the joint development of an industrial mass-production process for Smoltek’s ultra-thin carbon nanofiber capacitors.

May 29, 2022

The Group com­pany Smol­tek Semi has been col­lab­or­at­ing with a glob­al man­u­fac­turer of pass­ive com­pon­ents for the eval­u­ation of Smoltek’s pat­ent pro­tec­ted tech­no­logy plat­form, which enables man­u­fac­tur­ing of ultra-thin car­bon nan­ofiber capa­cit­ors, since 2020.

The eval­u­ation license agree­ment for this col­lab­or­a­tion will now be exten­ded for two months, until the end of June 2022. The exten­sion is made to enable the two com­pan­ies to reach a Memor­andum of Under­stand­ing (MoU) for a con­tin­ued col­lab­or­a­tion towards mass-pro­duc­tion of Smoltek’s ultra-thin car­bon nan­ofiber capa­cit­ors (CNF-MIM). The MoU-nego­ti­ations have been initiated.

“We are really excited that this glob­al man­u­fac­turer of pass­ive com­pon­ents, after a com­pre­hens­ive eval­u­ation of our tech­no­logy, is now pre­pared to take the col­lab­or­a­tion with us to the next level,”

says Håkan Persson, CEO of Smol­tek and Pres­id­ent of Smol­tek Semi.

The pur­pose of the MoU is to define and agree upon both parties’ intents, require­ments, and the struc­ture for the con­tin­ued devel­op­ment and imple­ment­a­tion of an indus­tri­al mass pro­duc­tion pro­cess for Smoltek’s ultra-thin car­bon nan­ofiber capacitors.“We are now defin­ing the way for­ward togeth­er with this major capa­cit­or vendor to bring our ultra-thin CNF-MIM capa­cit­ors to the mar­ket. I view the ini­ti­ation of these MoU neg­a­tions with our part­ner as a strong val­id­a­tion of Smoltek’s tech­no­logy and know-how, as well as the com­mer­cial poten­tial for our ultra-thin car­bon nan­ofiber capacitors,”

The com­pan­ies expect that it will be pos­sible to reach a MoU before the end of June 2022, when the new exten­sion of the eval­u­ation license ends.
