After a decade of supporting R&D efforts at large commercial enterprises and universities, we're forced to cease our microelectronic business activities. We proudly provided materials and technical expertise for companies to develop their prototypes; unfortunately few would use our materials for their production runs. When after successful prototyping these companies took the material specs to US based corporations for material orders we know it was because purchasing managers doubted our ability to fulfil multi-million dollar orders in a JIT environment. Additional problems occurred when companies outsourced manufacturing without including our materials in the manufacturing specs. We provided this prototyping assistance in good faith at exceptionally low cost in hopes of securing the material contracts once production began. In some cases we provided free materials for prototyping. While deployed to ONW/OEF/OIF it was decided that we would cease operation and will no longer supply materials to companies who do not commit in writing to production run material contracts. This change and subsequent reorganization required us to initially close our operation to all activity.
