GT Solar International was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in Merrimack, New Hampshire. GT Solar International, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is a provider of specialized manufacturing equipment and services essential for the production of photovoltaic wafers, cells and modules and polysilicon. Its principal products are directional solidification systems (DSS) units, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactors and related equipment. DSS units are specialized furnaces used to melt polysilicon and cast multicrystalline ingots, from which solar wafers are made. CVD reactors are used to react gases at high temperatures and pressures to produce polysilicon, the key raw material used in solar cells. Its customers include several of the world's largest solar companies, as well as companies in the chemical industry. The Company operates through two segments: photovoltaic business and polysilicon business.

MaxLinear, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company, provides integrated, radio-frequency (RF) analog and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions for broadband communications applications primarily in the United States. The company’s RF, receiver products capture and process digital and analog broadband signals to be decoded for various applications. These products include RF receivers and RF receiver systems-on-chip, which incorporate the company’s integrated radio system architecture and the functionality necessary to demodulate broadband signals. Its products enable the display of broadband video in a range of electronic devices, including cable and terrestrial set top boxes, digital televisions, mobile handsets, personal computers, netbooks, and in-vehicle entertainment devices. MaxLinear sells its products to original equipment manufacturers, module makers, and original design manufacturers. The company was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Carlsbad, California.

Netlist, Inc., designs, manufactures and sells memory subsystems primarily for the server, high-performance computing and communications markets. The Company’s memory subsystems consist of dynamic random access memory integrated circuits (DRAM ICs), NAND flash memory (NAND) and other components assembled on a printed circuit board (PCB). The Company also design custom semiconductor logic devices which are integrated into its memory subsystems. Net sales to the two customers: Dell and Hewlett Packard, represented approximately 90% of the Company’s net sales during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2009 (fiscal 2008). Net sales to some of its original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers include memory modules that are qualified by Netlist, Inc. directly with the OEM customer and sold to electronic manufacturing services providers (EMSs), for incorporation into products manufactured exclusively for the OEM customer.

Novellus Systems, Inc. was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in San Jose, California. Novellus Systems, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, develops, manufactures, sells, and supports equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits. It operates in two segments, Semiconductor Group and Industrial Applications Group. The Semiconductor Group segment manufactures and supplies equipment used in the deposition of thin dielectric and metal films, as well as equipment used in complementary manufacturing steps, including surface preparation and ultraviolet thermal processing. Its deposition systems use chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and electrochemical deposition (ECD) processes to form transistor, capacitor, and interconnect layers in an integrated circuit. This segment’s High-Density Plasma CVD (HDP-CVD) and Plasma-Enhanced CVD (PECVD) systems employ chemical plasma to deposit dielectric material within the gaps formed by the etching of aluminum, or as a blanket film that can be etched with patterns for depositing conductive materials into the etched dielectric. Its CVD Tungsten systems are used to deposit conductive contacts between transistors and interconnect; PVD systems are used to deposit conductive aluminum and copper metal layers by sputtering metal atoms from the surface of a target source; and Electrofil ECD systems are used to deposit copper to form the conductive wiring on integrated circuits using copper interconnects.

Varta, once one of the biggest names in the battery market, has lost its buzz. After selling its consumer battery business to Rayovac (now known as Spectrum Brands), and its automotive battery division to Johnson Controls in 2002, Varta in 2006 divested its micro-battery business, VARTA Microbatterie, a subsidiary the company created in 2001. Global Equity Partners Beteiligungs-Management, an Austrian buyout firm, bought VARTA Microbatterie in late 2006. Since 2007, the company has been in the process of selling the assets and equity previously part of the manufacture and sale of the VARTA lineup. Deutsche Bank's industrial and private equity holding company, DB Investor, is the majority owner of Varta.

Cambridge Mechatronics (formerly 1 Limited) has an unlimited desire to bring its proprietary technology to the eyes and ears of the world. The company develops and licenses its Helimorph piezo ceramic actuator technology to electronics manufacturers, who incorporate the tiny electronic devices into products such as laptops, PDAs, and camera-enabled cell phones. Cambridge Mechatronics touts the Helimorph technology as being compact, lightweight, energy-efficient, and scalable. The company also developed the Digital Sound Projector chipset, which enables surround sound from a single loudspeaker panel. Cambridge Mechatronics' audio partners include Dolby, Pioneer, and Yamaha.

Trading company Kanematsu does its buying and selling in four main business segments: information technology (semiconductors, electronic components, mobile phones), life sciences and energy (pharmaceuticals, solvents, crude oil), foodstuffs (grains and feeds, canned and frozen foods, meats), and iron, steel, and industrial plants (cast and forged products, stainless steel, manufacturing equipment). Fluctuating between profits and losses, the company is reorganizing and exiting non-core businesses.

Phase Matrix develops and manufactures microwave and radio-frequency (RF) test equipment, such as microwave frequency counters, pulse generators, microwave synthesizers, and power amplifiers. The company designs and manufactures instruments on a contract basis for OEMs, and also provides repair services and spare parts for EIP-branded instruments. Phase Matrix acquired the assets of EIP Microwave in 1999. The company also supplies microwave components, such as high-speed clocks and oscillators. Pete Pragastis, the company's president, and VP Charanbir Mahal together hold the majority ownership in Phase Matrix.

GE Energy is an electrifying descendant of Edison's light bulb and a global leader in the design, manufacture, installation, and maintenance of gas, nuclear, wind, and steam-driven power generation plants. One of General Electric's largest divisions, GE Energy serves utility, industrial, and governmental customers worldwide, supplying products such as compressors, turbines, generators, and nuclear reactors. It also provides equipment that supports oil and gas distribution, and services ranging from consulting and field engineering to environmental monitoring and product lifecycle management.

President and CEO John Westerbeke Jr. owns Westerbeke Corporation, which was founded by his father in 1937. Westerbeke makes waves with its line of marine engines and generators. Many of the company's engines are used for auxiliary power for sailboats; some models are used as the primary power source for other craft. Westerbeke's marine generators are used to power lights, navigational gear, and other equipment on pleasure and commercial vessels. The company also makes industrial generators for use on land. Most Westerbeke engines and generators are diesel-powered, but the company also makes gasoline-powered models. Westerbeke sells products worldwide through distributors and dealers.
