e2ip Technologies is a Montreal-based manufacturer of printed electronics and smart surfaces for OEMs, led by President Dan Brady.
e2ip Technologies
e2ip Technologies originated more than 40 years ago as a family screen-printing operation, evolving through acquisitions — including GGI Solutions, ClickTouch America, and HeatSeal — into a technology-focused manufacturer of Human Machine Interface (HMI) components. The firm maintains its headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, with additional facilities in Lachine, Quebec; Montvale, New Jersey; and Nouaceur, Morocco. The company's core offerings span Smart Structural Surfaces (in-mold electronics), Smart Touch Surfaces (embedded touchscreens), Electromechanical Systems, and Membrane Switches. e2ip also produces an Edge AI Sensing Kit for low-latency, on-device processing. It serves OEMs across aerospace, automotive, industrial, and consumer markets, holding a Crystal Cabin Award (2020, Materials & Components) and a CES 2021 Best of Innovation Award for its 5G Smart Surface technology. Key manufacturing processes include its proprietary HeatSeal lamination and high-speed printed-electronics methods. In 2023, e2ip secured $120 million in growth funding to productize its technologies for global markets. That same year, it acquired True North Printed Plastics Inc. and formed a joint initiative with Antolin and Walter Pack to advance in-mold electronics. The firm’s management team includes CFO Mario Ménard and CRO Peter Ypsilantis, both former executives from large-scale manufacturing and technology firms. No AUM or ownership-deployment data is publicly disclosed. Unlike a typical family office or venture-backed startup, e2ip operates as an operating company with a vertically integrated R&D-to-fabrication model. It retains full control over IP and manufacturing, combining material science with high-volume production — a structure more akin to a specialty contract manufacturer than an investment vehicle.
