“We look forward to building on our relationship with FIT as a strategic investor and partner, which will enable both companies to cement their leading positions in the market.”

Thomas Fann, special assistant to the chairman, FIT, says: “Access to power on a wireless basis is an essential element to the new mobility ecosystem, which is a business area of increasing focus for FIT.

“OEMs and technology companies are looking for reliable, high performing, and cost-efficient wireless power solutions. Powermat delivers wireless technology solutions to OEMs with an unmatched level of service that ensures the successful implementation of their reference designs and technologies.

“We view our investment in Powermat as another step in a mutually beneficial partnership that will help enable the future success of FIT’s business and lead to deeper penetration of Powermat’s revolutionary technologies across the world’s most innovative industry segments.”

Neil Auerbach, CEO and managing partner of Hudson Sustainable Group, says: “Having worked with Powermat Technologies since 2012, we have a strong conviction in the progress of the company and its position as one of the leading players in the wireless power space.
