Hillcrest Energy Technologies CEO Don Currie joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a new Letter of Intent from Lenze SE, a major European manufacturer of industrial drive and automation systems, marking another step forward in the commercial evaluation of Hillcrest’s proprietary Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology. Currie said the LOI confirms Lenze’s intention to continue evaluating Hillcrest’s ZVS technology for potential integration into its high-power inverter product lines. The next phase of work is expected to focus on assessing commercial viability and defining the potential framework for a future partnership. Lenze is a privately held, family-owned company based in Aerzen, Germany, with more than 70 years of experience in industrial drive systems and automation. The company serves customers across sectors including conveyor and material handling, packaging machinery, robotics, automotive assembly, and industrial automation, providing drive controllers, servo drives, variable frequency drives, and related systems to OEMs and industrial integrators worldwide. Hillcrest’s ZVS technology is being evaluated for use in Lenze’s inverter platforms because of its potential to improve efficiency, electromagnetic compatibility, and overall power-conversion performance in demanding industrial applications. These characteristics are particularly important in the global industrial drive market, where customers prioritize reliability, energy efficiency, and cost-effective performance. The two companies have already been working together to assess whether Hillcrest’s ZVS platform can meet Lenze’s technical specifications, manufacturing requirements, and commercial objectives. Management believes Lenze’s direct access to a broad industrial customer base makes the collaboration strategically important, as it could open the door to large-scale commercial opportunities in high-power inverter markets. #proactiveinvestors #hillcrestenergytechnologiesltd #cse #heat #ptcqb #hlrtf #DonCurrie #ElectricVehicles #EVTechnology #PowerConversion #InverterTech #IndustrialAutomation #CleanTech #Electrification #EnergyEfficiency #ManufacturingTech #ZeroVoltageSwitching
