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.

Managing Energy Flow with Proper Stackup Design
02/13/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007At Design Con 2025, I had the opportunity to speak with Dan Beeker, technical director at NXP Semiconductor, about his technical session, which focused on optimizing PCB layers to best direct signal and power supply energy between these layers. In this interview, Dan discusses the complexities of board stackup and the significance of understanding dielectric layers for effective signal transmission. Dan is something of a “fields evangelist,” spreading the word about the need for designers to focus on fields, not just circuit theory. Toward the end, Dan summed up much of the design segment: Designing something that didn't make it break is not the same thing as designing it correctly.
