Michael Walshe, Managing Director and CEO of Metallium, stated that Langster’s "combination of leadership, international policy expertise and strong industry connections across the electronics and semiconductor supply chains is invaluable" as the company commercializes its Flash Joule Heating technology in the U.S.
