Advanced Electron Beams
Background
Advanced Electron Beams (AEB) enables the green factory of the future by making sustainable manufacturing possible and profitable. AEB’s compact electron beam emitters replace thermal and chemical processes for cleaner, more efficient, lower-cost manufacturing. For industries such as pharmaceutical, medical devices, food and beverage, printing, and plastics, AEB emitters sterilize products and packaging, improve the performance of plastics and other materials, cure inks and coatings and eliminate pollution.

Our Partnership
We have long felt that there are tremendous opportunities for energy savings and pollution prevention behind the factory gate. So when we met the AEB team, we immediately understood their value. First, they had figured out how to shrink an electron beam emitter from the size of a large room to the size of a microwave oven, making it cheaper, more flexible and better adapted to a variety of industrial applications. Next, they engineered the device to achieve energy savings in certain applications in excess of 90% - an incredible innovation in an era of rising energy prices. Finally, their technology can replace the use of various industrial chemicals – totally eliminating certain hazardous waste streams for their customers.
"Rockport really shares our passion for addressing the energy environment problem. They have helped us to understand how the adoption of new technology works in mature industries and they have been great at making key introductions to key players in our target industries" (Mitch Tyson, CEO, Advanced Electron Beams, Inc.)
