Plymouth's Inmatech capitalizes on supercapacitor industry

Inmatech is three years old, but the Plymouth-based start-up really got going when it reorganized about six months ago. That move allowed the four-person firm to focus its business plan and goals.

"We're getting a lot of good feedback, especially over the last few weeks," says Stefan Heinemann, CEO of Inmatech. "We're in the middle of fundraising and it's going well."

Inmatech makes advanced, customized supercapacitors for the automotive and defense markets. These supercapacitors allow for longer operational time of mobile electronics, improved power delivery and many thousands of load cycles. These lead to significantly lower cost and three times higher energy density than state-of-the-art devices at uncompromised power capabilities.

Inmatech plans to finish developing this product in 2014. At that time, it expects to employ about 20 people and become profitable. The company recently made the semifinals of the Accelerate Michigan Innovation Competition.

"It was time well spent," Heinemann says. "I admire the foresight of the organizers."
