30 Jul Enginuity Power Systems Acquires Katech
Acquisition To Accelerate Key Commercialization Plan
Katech to deliver up to 100 engines for Enginuity’s E|ONE private home generation appliance over the next year.
Alexandria, VA, July 29, 2020 – Enginuity Power Systems announced today that it acquired world-renown engine builder Katech Inc. earlier this year as part of a strategy to speed the commercialization of its innovative E|ONE, a private home generation appliance.
E1 replaces the standard water heater with a fully integrated system that provides a home with all electric power and space and water heating requirements. E|ONE was awarded ‘Best in Show’, ‘Best Home Technology Product’ and ‘Best Energy Efficient Product’ at the 2020 International Builders Show in Las Vegas last January.
At the heart of E|ONE is a small internal combustion engine that runs quietly and efficiently on multiple fuels. Katech Engineering is now working on the latest generation of the engine, and on the mCHP assembly, which are critical steps toward E1 commercialization.
“We believe Katech’s world-class engine design and test capabilities, along with its on-site high-performance engine and parts manufacturing resources, will significantly shorten the E|ONE’s time to market,” said Jacques Beaudry-Losique, Chief Executive Officer of Enginuity Power Systems. “Our truly innovative engine is in the right hands at the right time.”
Katech will continue to operate its established businesses, which includes motorsports, vehicle aftermarket, and corporate accounts, and this will allow Enginuity to tap new opportunities in the transportation sector.
Katech recently signed a contract to supply several thousand US made temperature-scan stands to a firm providing scanners to hospitals, hotels, government agencies and universities to support the COVID-19 pandemic effort. It also recently expanded its presence in the alternative fuel and marine engine markets.
