Strategic funding SBE has secured a $9.1 million Department of Energy grant to scale manufacturing of Power Ring Film Capacitors for Electric Drive Vehicles, signaling strong government backing and a growing EV supply chain opportunity.

EV drivetrain focus The Power Ring Film Capacitor line targets drivetrain inverters for EVs, presenting a clear sales channel into automotive and electric propulsion markets that require high reliability and compact cooling.

Reliability leadership With a history spanning over 50 years and a portfolio including the Orange Drop, SBE emphasizes high reliability and power density, appealing to mission-critical applications in automotive, aerospace, medical, and defense.

Strategic partnerships Past collaboration with Infineon and Oak Ridge National Laboratory positions SBE as a preferred partner for advanced materials and inverter testing, suggesting opportunities for co-development and larger procurement programs.

Scaling capabilities Recent plant expansion plans funded by government support indicate capacity growth to supply over 100,000 EV drivetrains within three years, enabling scalable opportunities for OEMs and tier suppliers in the EV and energy sectors.
