Ioxus, Inc. a manufacturer of ultracapacitor technology for transportation, alternative energy, medical, industrial and consumer product markets, announced the addition of WPG Americas to its North American distribution channel. WPG Americas serves industries such as semiconductors and passive, electro-mechanical and display products, significantly broadening Ioxus’ potential customer base in the region. By providing technical and marketing support to carefully selected channel partners, Ioxus can deliver components more quickly to more customers in more markets globally.

"WPG Americas is known for its world-class supply chain and logistics capabilities, and the company offers the high-tech components and technical sales force our focus markets require," said Brendan Andrews, Vice President of Sales of Ioxus.
