Infinitum, the creator of breakthrough air core motors and the flag-bearers of sustainable generators, announced the acquisition of Circuit Connect, a printed circuit board fabricator based in Nashua, New Hampshire. Circuit Connect has consistently served the OEM and electronic manufacturing industry for 30 years.

The acquisition of Circuit Connect, Inc. supports Infinitum’s efforts to become more vertical and immediately allows for a substantially higher production capacity of PCB stators. The acquisition also provides a framework for continuous volume growth, which is critical to meeting the high demand for Infinitum’s innovative electric motor technology.

Infinitum’s unique air core motor motors replace heavy iron found in traditional electric motors with a lightweight, printed circuit board (PCB) stator that is 10x more reliable. Infinitum motors are 50 percent smaller and lighter, use 66 percent less copper, and consume 10 percent less energy than standard iron core stator motors. The motor’s modular design allows the housing, rotors, and stators to be reused multiple times, giving parts a second and third life to serve future generations.

Circuit Connect, Inc has supplied Infinitum with PCB stators for more than 5 years and has been closely involved in developing the manufacturing process and quality product that is at the heart of Infinitum’s award-winning motors. The company has 21 employees who will join the Infinitum family while continuing to service existing customers via the operation from Nashua, New Hampshire.

“Our PCB stator is the heart of our sustainable electric motors and what allows us to deliver the efficiency and energy savings that are so important to our customers and the planet,” said Ben Schuler, founder, and CEO of Infinitum. “Circuit Connect has worked side by side with us advancing and improving how PCB stators are made. Their acquisition will help us ensure consistent delivery of quality stator components as we execute on our hypergrowth phase and scale up manufacturing to meet the demand for our motors that can power the world with less energy and waste.”

“As a leader in PCB fabrication in the US for more than three decades, Circuit Connect’s dedication to customer success aligns well with Infinitum’s mission to build motors with reliability and extended life,” said Rick Clutz, founder, of Circuit Connect. “We look forward to continuing to serve our customers and are excited about the next chapter as we ramp up production to help create motors that can have such a lasting and positive impact on the environment.”
