Maker of precision-stamped motor cores, including for EV traction motors, and semiconductor leadframes.
Maker of precision-stamped motor cores, including for EV traction motors, and semiconductor leadframes.
Builds its own precision stamping dies and presses, then earns on volume once a customer's motor or chip-package design is approved, so new vehicle and chip programmes drive the order book. Approval cycles are long, which keeps customers in place once a part is designed in.
In one line: A niche precision-stamping supplier with no direct US listed peer.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification). Precision stamping tolerances and long qualification cycles with motor and chip customers.
