CVD Equipment Corporation Receives First Production System Order for Nanomaterials Used in Electric Vehicle Energy Storage

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV), a leading supplier of chemical vapor deposition systems, today announced that it has received an order for a production system from a leading U.S. battery materials manufacturer of electric vehicles for approximately $1.7 million. The system is expected to be delivered to the customer in the first quarter of 2022.

Significant growth in electric vehicle sales is expected in the coming years. With the development of next-generation lithium-ion battery materials moving from research and development to production, we believe CVD is focusing on the increased demand for carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon nanofibers (CNFs), silicon nanowires (Si-NW) and other nanotechnology materials. These materials increase energy density and charging speed while reducing cost per kWh. Chemical vapor deposition is a key manufacturing process for making these new battery materials. CVD Equipment has a long track record of over 20 years in the design and manufacture of CVD tools to advance the state of the art in nanotechnology materials.

“CVD is pleased to receive this order contract. It is the affirmation of the company’s strategic direction to produce equipment for materials in high-growth nanotechnology materials markets. We look forward to expanding our presence in these emerging green technology markets,” said Emmanuel Lakios, President and CEO of CVD Equipment Corporation.
