EPC impressed us as a company that is pro-active in its approach to the market, anticipating customers questions about adopting this technology and helping them on the design journey to a smaller, more efficient system design. Our FAE team is benefitting from this approach as they undergo comprehensive and in-depth training on the range.”

We believe that they will be very successful in collaborating with customers to ensure that they achieve the potential that eGaN technology can offer.”
