“We continually strive to hire employees who exemplify Miltec’s core values, adding to our culture of innovation and diversity. I look forward to continuing efforts to propel our growth throughout 2018.” However, Miltec UV does not stop with new staff: it is moving ahead in 2018 with the launch of its new lithium-ion battery UV technology. This new high-speed coating and curing technology allows battery manufacturers to produce lithium-ion batteries at a faster pace, with less floor space and carbon footprint, therefore providing cost savings. Furthermore, it reduces the cost of improving the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries in all applications, including HEV, PHEV and EV as well as consumer electronics and grid energy storage. Miltec is taking its technology and expanding to the USA and international markets in 2018. Its advanced R&D lab welcomes manufacturers for testing. Miltec UV – USA Website : www.miltec.com
