Hello Everyone,
After an exciting week in the markets last week we are back with another company for you to research for this week.
Last week we saw two quick double digit movers that we featured and sent out to our members.
This is another brand new company for our subscribers to research as we have never covered this one in our long 10 year history.
We want you to pull up VMAR immediately.
Vision Marine Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: VMAR) strives to change and be a contributing factor in fighting the problem of waterway pollution by disrupting the boating industry with electric power, contributing to zero pollution, zero emission, wave less water, and a noiseless environment.
The Company's flagship outboard powertrain is the first fully electric outboard motor that combines an advanced battery pack, inverter, and high efficiency motor.
They continue to design, innovate, manufacture, and sell handcrafted, high performance, environmentally friendly, electric recreational powerboats to recreational customers. The design and technology applied to their boats results in far greater and enhanced performance, higher speeds and longer range. Simply stated, VMAR is responsible for providing a smoother ride than a traditional ICE motorboat.
Electric motors are often considered superior to internal combustion engines (ICE) for several reasons. They are more energy-efficient, converting a higher percentage of electrical energy into mechanical power with less waste in the form of heat. Electric motors also have fewer moving parts, which leads to reduced wear and tear, lower maintenance costs, and longer lifespans. Furthermore, electric motors can provide instant torque, delivering smoother and more responsive performance, especially in applications like electric vehicles. From an environmental perspective, electric motors are more sustainable, as they can be powered by renewable energy sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering overall carbon emissions.
The week before last we saw this one have a huge day on Friday after they dropped some MASSIVE news:
Vision Marine Technologies Innovates HV Marine Battery Packs in Collaboration With Calip Group
MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / January 9, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc.(the "Company", "Vision Marine", "we", "us", "our") (Nasdaq:VMAR), a leading innovator in electric marine propulsion, announces the establishment of a production line for custom cooling plates in partnership with Calip Group, a leader in high-tech welding processes. Under this collaboration, Calip Group will supply components that enhance the thermal management of Vision Marine's high-voltage (HV) marine battery packs. These custom cooling plates are specifically tailored to meet the stringent demands of marine applications, with production slated to begin in 2025.
Marine battery packs operate in environments that demand sustained, high-power delivery over extended periods. In contrast, most high-voltage batteries are designed to provide only brief bursts of peak power and minimal continuous output. Marine applications, however, require continuous operation at elevated power levels, resulting in significant thermal stresses that can degrade battery cells and shorten their lifespan.
To address these challenges, Vision Marine has developed specialized cooling plates adapted to the unique thermal requirements of marine battery packs. By improving heat dissipation and stabilizing cell temperatures, these advanced cooling plates help maintain consistent performance, enhance reliability, and extend the operational life of the cells - even under the most rigorous marine conditions.
"Overheating in a high-voltage battery designed for marine applications is a real challenge," said Xavier Montagne, Technical Director of Vision Marine. "We decided to design our own specialized cooling plate to enhance pack stability and, of course, increase thermal efficiency."Calip Group contributed its technical expertise through its FSW (Friction Stir Welding) welding process, enabling the precise manufacture of fully sealed cooling plates.
"We adapted our industrial tooling to meet the exact constraints of the battery and its specific assembly process," said Thierry Giorgalla, General Director of Calip Group. "We've invested heavily in fine-tuning our FSW welding method to ensure a fully sealed cooling plate within tight tolerances. Calip is among the European leaders at mastering this high-tech process."
Vision Marine's E-Motion™ Powerpacks remain at the forefront of high-voltage marine battery technology. Among the first battery packs specifically designed for electric marine propulsion, they feature IP67-rated stainless-steel construction for superior durability, advanced thermal management systems, and modular configurations that seamlessly integrate into boats ranging from 18 to 34 feet. Vision Marine's meticulous engineering has ensured that the E-Motion Powerpacks operate with unparalleled safety and reliability, with no recorded instances of thermal runaway to date. This impeccable track record, paired with new custom cooling plates developed alongside Calip Group, underscores Vision Marine's commitment to proactive innovation and safety. Combined with full ownership of the tooling and strong production partnerships, the company is poised to scale manufacturing efficiently and reliably, meeting the rising market demand with confidence.
This development underscores Vision Marines' commitment to delivering advanced, reliable, and practical solutions that foster the adoption of sustainable marine propulsion systems. This production agreement with Calip Group is yet another step toward meeting growing market demand for high-performance electric boating technologies.
About Calip Group: Calip Group is a leading alliance of two precision mechanics specialists, Calip Normandie and MGF Grimaldi. Founded in 2014, the group meets the stringent requirements of major industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, and robotics. With a workforce of 400 skilled employees and the production strength of five facilities across France and Romania, Calip Group delivers innovative, high-precision manufacturing solutions. In 2024, the group expanded its capabilities with the acquisition of SPEMA, a company specializing in high-precision mechanics. By integrating lean management practices, innovative processes, and a streamlined supply chain for surface treatments and painting, Calip Group has evolved from a machining subcontractor into a full-scale serial producer of complex components.
