Company Profile

APowerCap Technologies, Inc. (APCT) develops and manufactures high-power ultracapacitors and provides ultracapacitor-based solutions to a wide variety of clients and businesses segments. Incorporated in the U.S. in 2006, APCT has been invested by a pioneering Ukrainian venture capital firm TechInvest. Today, it is backed up by one of the largest Ukrainian financial groups based in the UK .  

APCT is headquartered in Kyiv (Ukraine), and has a representative office in the Redwood City, CA . In 2008, APCT launched a pilot production facility in Ukraine and started to provide its potential clients with product samples.

APCT developed superior ultracapacitor technology that will bring new level of efficiency to dozens of verticals. APCT ultracapacitors provide battery manufacturers with the market opportunity called “a combined solution”, which combines a common battery with an ultracap power source to reach maximum effectiveness.

The market niches for Company’s products can be grouped into:

• transportation;
• industrial energy generation and power supply; 
• consumer electronics.

The APCT ultracapacitors’ competitive advantages are based on their unique design and materials, resulting in 1.5 to 2 times, compared to the best competing products available at the market: 

• better power performance;
• less self discharge of modules;
• lower cost;
• smaller volume/weight.  

Ultracapacitor prototypes, developed by APCT, have been tested by leading industry experts, including:

• ABB Research Center (Sweden, 1996-1997);
• INEEL (1997-1998) ;
• ITS, Davis, CA (1997-2006).

APCT has initially built its own technology advantage by taking up Ukrainian high-tech companies specializing in ultracapacitor’s technology and its’ essential elements development. APCT acquired several eastern European R&D companies with a history of ultracapacitor’s research going back to mid-90s. APCT has also involved other scientists, engineers and managers to create a breakthrough technology and to bind links with production partners in Russia, Europe, North America and Japan . Today, APCT works with the leading R&D centers in ultracapacitors and new materials development all around the world.

APowerCap Technologies Inc. development team has been conducting research in the field of ultracapacitors for more than 17 years. R&D on ultracapacitors began within the framework of a special project of the Ministry of Electronics of the former Soviet Union . After the collapse of the Soviet Union, members of the R&D team established a company, which offered contract R&D services for international clients in ultracapacitor technology. Among its clients were Skeleton Technologies (former SuperFarad), Idaho National Laboratory, Ener1. Inc.

In 2005, ultracapacitor technology project became a finalist of Ukrainian High-Tech Competition, and successfully presented the technology to international VC investors at SVOD Technology conference in Silicon Valley by winning this event. APCT R&D team has a number of Ukrainian and Russian patents on ultracapacitors technology and ultracapacitor parts, which were transferred to APCT. Based on the know-how accumulated by the R&D team, APCT has filed two US patents.
