Laird Technologies, a developer of components and solutions for electromagnetic interference protection and thermal protection of electronics, has announced the acquisition of U.S.-based manufacturer of thin-film thermoelectric technologies Nextreme Thermal Solutions. Though Nextreme and Laird currently have a strategic design and distribution partnership, the acquisition will provide Nextreme with access to a wider market and the resources to increase product development.
“Nextreme is the next generation in technology for thermoelectrics. It can fundamentally change the way we cool electronics at the most integrated levels while being produced in large volumes…Through this acquisition, we will combine the most innovative technology with our market presence and ability to scale operations, to deliver added value to our customers and enable us to move into new segments,” Laird Technologies chief executive David Lockwood said.
