NovaTorque and Wolong Announce Partnership

NovaTorque, Inc. and Wolong Electric announced an agreement for Wolong to become NovaTorque's manufacturing partner. The manufacturing transition has begun and is expected to be complete by year-end 2016.

"We are very pleased with the partnership," stated Emily Liggett, NovaTorque CEO. "As a small company with great technology, we were searching for a partner with the manufacturing expertise, resources, cost structure, quality systems, and reputation to allow us to fully compete on price and quality, as well as on product performance, efficiency and reliability. Wolong is a fantastic organization and partner."

"We are pleased to add NovaTorque as an OEM customer of our manufacturing group", says Larry Tan, Wolong's Managing Director, Americas and Middle East. "Wolong is delighted to add such advanced motor technology to the comprehensive range of products we produce."

NovaTorque product development and applications support will continue from its Fremont, CA, headquarters while the companies explore additional opportunities to work together, including product marketing and cross selling.
