IXYS to sell Power Efficiency's energy saving motor controllers

IXYS Corporation and Power Efficiency Corporation have entered into a partnership for the supply and sale of Power Efficiency's single phase E-Save Technology products. Single-phase E-Save technology products are used in appliances and small motors operating at variable loads, such as clothes washers and dryers.
IXYS will sell and market the single-phase controller through its sales networks to customers worldwide. IXYS parts are extensively used in Power Efficiency's motor controller products.

Steven Strasser, Chairman and CEO of Power Efficiency Corporation said,
"We believe the demand for energy efficient appliances will continue to grow globally. I expect government regulations for increased energy efficiency standards, combined with a number of utility and government initiatives to encourage energy efficiency, will result
in a strong demand for our product. We believe E-Save Technology is a very cost effective energy savings solution."
