Integrated Micro-Electronics, Inc. (IMI), a global multi-national electronics manufacturing company, proudly announced that it has entered into a strategic manufacturing partnership with LAND/LAND Energy, a Cleveland-based electric mobility manufacturer in the US. The collaboration will further accelerate new electric vehicle production globally.
The recently signed operating agreement signed will produce LAND/LAND Energy’s new global mobility platform to be announced early this year, also marking the company’s first expansion into Southeast Asian markets.
Such collaboration leverages IMI's extensive manufacturing capabilities, currently producing both electric and gas motorcycles in the Philippines. It will also enable LAND to efficiently manufacture and distribute their new product across rapidly growing Asian and European markets, where two-wheel electric vehicles are experiencing significant adoption.
“Our partnership with LAND Energy is a significant step forward in our mission to enhance our core business and expand our capabilities in the electric mobility sector. By leveraging our combined expertise, we are poised to drive innovation and deliver superior solutions to our customers,” said Lou Hughes, CEO of IMI.
"We have been friendly with the Ayala / IMI group for over a decade and we have discussed working together in the past," said Scott Colosimo, LAND Founder and CEO. "The time has come for us to move forward together and by partnering with IMI, LAND can bring our new vehicle platform to key international markets more efficiently."
IMI specializes in highly reliable and quality electronics for long product life cycle segments in the automotive, industrial, power electronics, communications, and medical markets. The company’s manufacturing expertise and scalable production capabilities align perfectly with LAND's vision of revolutionizing mobile energy through innovative e-mobility solutions.

UHDI Fundamentals: An Overview of UHDI Layer Types
01/02/2026 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsUHDI layer types include core, sequential lamination build-up; microvia; embedded and passive antennas and inductors; and embedded functional, protective, and hybrid rigid-flex layers. Together, they enable ultra-fine features, dense interconnects, high-frequency performance, and miniaturized system designs. UHDI typically requires multiple SBU cycles, where thin dielectric and copper layers are drilled for microvias, plated, imaged, and laminated sequentially to build up to the final design from the inside out.
