Richardson Electronics has been selected by C-Motive Technologies as its manufacturing partner to support the commercialization of C-Motive's ZeroMag motor platform and Cascade H-Bridge medium voltage drive system. Under the agreement, Richardson Electronics will provide design-for-manufacturing, engineering support, Alpha and Beta pilot production, production test development, quality planning, regulatory support, and volume manufacturing services for C-Motive's proprietary motor drive controller to prepare for commercial production beginning in calendar 2027.

Richardson Electronics announced a new global strategic partnership with NoMIS Power. Through this collaboration, Richardson Electronics will expand its portfolio of next-generation power solutions by leveraging NoMIS Power's rugged, reliable, and customizable SiC technologies. The partnership adds targeted capabilities across 1.2 kV to 10 kV, with particular emphasis on medium-voltage and high-voltage SiC solutions at 3.3 kV and above for demanding power conversion applications.

Richardson Electronics announced a new technology partnership with Gotion to bring large-scale battery energy storage systems to the multi-billion dollar U.S. market. The collaboration brings together two Illinois-based companies, Richardson Electronics in LaFox, Illinois, and Gotion Illinois' battery manufacturing facility in Manteno, Illinois, to meet the rapidly growing demand for energy storage across commercial and industrial and utility-scale applications. Through this partnership, Richardson Electronics and Gotion will introduce two advanced BESS platforms: a 760-kWh system designed for C&I energy storage applications and a 5 MWh system engineered to support large-scale utility deployments. These systems will support projects ranging from customized C&I installations to large-scale utility projects in the hundreds of megawatts. Manufactured and assembled in Manteno, Illinois, the new battery energy storage solutions will help customers manage rising electricity costs while providing greater control over energy usage and improving grid resilience. The collaboration also aligns with the continued growth of battery storage in Illinois following the rollout of the Illinois Climate Resilience and Grid Advancement program, which provides rebates of up to $250 per kWh for standalone battery energy storage systems. Under the agreement, Gotion will provide advanced battery technology produced at Gotion's Illinois manufacturing hub in Manteno, Illinois, while Richardson Electronics will leverage its extensive experience in the U.S. energy market to support commercialization, engineering integration, and go-to-market strategy.
