About PiezoFans, LLC
Innovative Engineering to Advance the Piezoelectric Materials and Ultrasonic Devices Industries
Piezotech, LLC, parent of all the Piezo Technologies' companies, was formed in 1999 to aggressively pursue business opportunities using piezoelectric technology, especially for ultrasound applications. The first two members of the Piezo Technologies family are Keramos, a manufacturer of advanced piezoelectric ceramic crystals, and Etalon, a manufacturer of innovative piezoelectric ultrasound transducers. These businesses were acquired in late 1999 and the capability of each company has been bolstered by significant investment in additional technical personnel and advanced design and manufacturing equipment. Other businesses providing key complementary capabilities, e.g. advanced engineering design and systems design and assembly, are expected to join the Piezo Technologies family over time.
Under this enhanced focus of Piezo Technologies, Keramos is expanding its line of piezoelectric ceramic crystals. The current primary focus is the addition of 1 - 3 composite materials. Several applications are now under active development with current and potential Keramos customers. This material became an important addition to the standard product line during 2001. In addition, Piezo Technologies is pleased to announce that Keramos has been awarded a significant grant from the Indiana 21st Century Research & Technology Fund to develop very high temperature materials. Keramos is pursuing this high temperature application in conjunction with the Purdue University School of Materials Engineering, a leading Midwest research university. By virtue of this "joint venture" with Purdue, Keramos has direct access to the university's state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.
Etalon is also benefiting from the direction and the investment of Piezo Technologies. Etalon has attracted additional transducer design professionals to its engineering staff.
Piezo Technologies understands that progress is made by not only taking advantage of the latest in technical innovations, but also adhering to the best of the "tried and true."
Piezo Technologies Engineering Group Mission is to develop leading-edge piezoelectric-based technical solutions for the improvement of the quality of life worldwide. This approach allows the manufacturing division to remain focused solely on manufacturing issues, including quality, and productivity.
The Engineering Group will develop comprehensive solutions for customer-focused or market-driven needs. To accomplish its goals, the Engineering Group added several industry leading professionals to its staff, and made significant investments in new equipment and technology.
Piezo Technologies' Engineering Group is second to none in terms of experience, knowledge, resources, and dedication. The talented group of individuals in this are know their work is changing lives and reshaping our world. Engineering is the hub of Piezo Technologies, so it is from this point that all production originates. The future of the company, as well as the future of the industry, can be found in the Engineering Group.
