I-Pulse, a pulsed power technology company, announced it has acquired CSI Technologies, a California-based manufacturer of high-energy, high-voltage capacitors used in industrial, medical, and defense applications.
The acquisition strengthens I-Pulse’s U.S. manufacturing capabilities and enhances its ability to develop and deploy pulsed power technologies across sectors such as mining, geothermal energy, mineral exploration, and water resource management. By integrating CSI’s capacitor design and production expertise, I-Pulse aims to secure a more reliable supply chain while accelerating the design, prototyping, and manufacturing of compact, high-energy-density capacitors.
CSI Technologies, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Vista, California, brings decades of experience in pulsed power and high-energy-density capacitor design. The company has built a reputation for producing durable, long-life capacitors tailored for demanding applications.
I-Pulse plans to invest further in CSI to expand production capacity and advance prototype development, supporting growing demand across commercial and defense markets. The integration is also expected to improve product performance, reliability, and scalability while supporting job creation.
Founded in 2007, I-Pulse focuses on applying pulsed power technology to civilian industries, including geothermal energy, critical mineral extraction, agriculture, and advanced industrial processes.
KEY QUOTES:
“The acquisition of CSI Technologies enables I-Pulse to accelerate the deployment of disruptive pulsed power solutions across sustainable resource industries. By combining I-Pulse’s world class engineering capabilities with CSI’s deep expertise in high-energy capacitor design and manufacturing, we are uniquely positioned to drive game-changing industry transformation. We plan to make strategic investments in CSI to further advance high-energy capacitor prototype development and expand production capacity for customers in the U.S. and worldwide.”
Robert Friedland, Co-Founder, Chairman, And CEO Of I-Pulse
“The acquisition is a game changer for the I-Pulse Group, allowing us to bring high-voltage capacitor production in-house and speed up the development and delivery of our geothermal technologies and other business units. Beyond innovation, this move also strengthens our critical U.S. supply chain for the growing defense and fusion sectors. We’re looking forward to a major investments phase over the next couple of years that will unlock incredible potential and innovation for our I-Pulse team and CSI’s customers.”
