Noliac Acquisition
Multilayer (Tape cast)
▪ Founded in 1997, facilities in Denmark and Czech Republic
▪ Designer and manufacturer of tape cast and bulk piezoelectric material as well as transducers for use in
the telecommunications, industrial, medical and defense industries
▪ Acquisition rationale:
‒ Tape cast capability – Doubles available market of piezoelectric material along with Bulk piezo
‒ European presence and customer base
‒ Transducer capability and expertise – vertical integration with higher value add and ASP
‒ Backup foundry capability – European foundry supplements existing US foundry
Wide range of stack and
multilayer actuators
