Technology Transfer and Manufacturing Partnership
Ynvisible Interactive Inc. and ALMAX have partnered to bring sensing cold chain, logistics and Human Machine Interface (HMI) solutions to market for distributors and end customers. Ynvisible and ALMAX have signed a Transfer Agreement for North American and Chinese commercial production of a Temperature Threshold Indicator tag.
Ynvisible will supply ALMAX with ready-made electrochromic displays, in volume roll-to-roll format, for ALMAX integration. ALMAX has begun production of the temperature tag, customized with the ALMAX logo and graphics.
Also ALMAX has produced 200 production-ready demonstrators integrating Ynvisible electrochromic displays into ALMAX electronics, customized with the ALMAX logo and contact information.
Founded in 2000, ALMAX is owned by two experienced membrane switch and interface application ME & EE professionals from the United States. ALMAX specializes in prototyping through volume production, making it easy to get customers' products to market. ALMAX owns two factories in China and one in the USA with highly trained engineers and assemblers in all locations. ALMAX is ISO 9001, ISO13485, & IATF 16949 certified.
ALMAX is a global Printed Electronic and HMI manufacturer headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, USA, specializing in keypads (resistive or capacitive), complex electronic interface assemblies, smart keypads, backlighting, and precision circuit printing.
"I am very excited about this new partnership with Ynvisible. The temperature tag is only the beginning of integrating our technologies to provide custom Human Machine Interface assemblies. Ynvisible's thin and flexible electrochromic display technology allows both companies to provide solutions previously more difficult to manufacture, much thicker and cost-prohibitive," stated Alan Burk, President of ALMAX. "We can now integrate a printed display for a complete solution."
"ALMAX has a 20-year track record of meeting customers' aesthetic, environmental, mechanical, and electrical requirements with the high quality, customer service and competitive prices," added Tommy Hoglund, VP Global Sales & Marketing Ynvisible Interactive Inc. "Our partnership provides end-customers a clearer path to manufacture and launch and enables value-added white label solutions to the broader market."
