CPS Technologies Corp. (the "Company" or "CPS") is a Massachusetts-based advanced materials company founded in 1984 (originally as Ceramics Process Systems Corporation) and publicly listed on Nasdaq since 1987. Renamed CPS Technologies Corp. in 2007, the Company designs, manufactures, and sells high-performance material solutions for global customers across diverse markets, including transportation, energy, automotive, electronics, telecommunications, aerospace, and defense.
CPS possesses significant proprietary expertise in metal matrix composites (MMCs), which are custom-engineered materials that combine metals and ceramics to deliver superior performance properties. Due to these properties, which include improved thermal conductivity, stiffness, durability, lighter weight, and thermal expansion matching compared to conventional materials, the Company's products are well suited for applications with high performance demands. CPS’s components are used in high-speed trains, mass transit, HVDC power systems, electrical infrastructure, internet equipment, electric and hybrid vehicles, wind turbines, satellites, and even NASA Mars rovers.
Hermetic Packaging products, the Company’s second product category, are used in high reliability communications and power modules for avionics and satellite applications, including GPS systems. The Company’s products include housings and heat spreaders for high-performance microprocessors, graphics processing chips, and application-specific integrated circuits. The Company’s products allow higher performance and improved energy efficiency, particularly in applications in which there is a high cost of failure.
Using its proprietary MMC technology, the Company also produces lightweight, high performance armor. Due to its ability to withstand extreme environments and high threat levels, the Company's HybridTech Armor has been selected as the solution for crew served weapons stations on the U.S. Navy’s aircraft carriers. Its light weight also makes it an ideal solution for aircraft and other vehicles requiring a high strength to weight ratio.
