IMI Partners with a US-based Electric Mobility Manufacturer
January 10, 2025 | IMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
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.

Beyond Design: Electro-optical Circuit Boards
01/22/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignPredicting the role of PCB designers in 10 years is a challenge. If only I had a crystal ball. However, we know that as technology progresses, the limitations of copper PCBs are increasingly apparent, particularly regarding speed, bandwidth, and signal integrity. Innovations such as optical interconnects and photonic integrated circuits are setting the stage for the next generation of PCBs, delivering higher performance and efficiency. The future of PCB design will probably incorporate these new technologies to address the challenges of traditional copper-based designs.
The Knowledge Base: My 2025 Industry Wish List
01/14/2025 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseMy 2025 wish list for the electronics manufacturing industry is short. In fact, there’s only one item on the list: reliable EV charging stations. I love to drive cars, off-road vehicles, and boats. I also fly airplanes, and I’m an unabashed tech geek. From computers to tech gadgets, count me in. Because electric vehicles combine my fascination for both propulsion and technology, most of my friends and colleagues are surprised to learn that I do not yet have an electric vehicle. So, what’s holding me back? The answer does not lie with the electric vehicle itself, but with the current state of public EV charging stations.
