Growth markets Target opportunity in high-growth sectors identified: wireless communications, electronic power technology, energy management, IGBT, solar and wind power. Position Illinois Capacitor (Cornell Dubilier) as a supplier of high-temperature and high-reliability capacitors (including +85°C to +125°C ratings, ultra-low impedance, and surface mount options) to OEMs and system integrators in these markets.

Product expansion Leverage recent product launches and series such as MYH EMI/RFI suppression capacitors, Y2 Class interference suppressors, MXH X2 suppression capacitors, and flatpack low-profile aluminum electrolytics to upsell to existing customers and attract new ones needing robust EMI/EMC solutions for harsh environments and compact form factors.

Acquisition synergies Capitalize on the Illinois Capacitor brand integration under Cornell Dubilier to cross-sell a broad capacitor portfolio, including electrolytics, polymer, film, power film, and supercapacitors (EDLC), to customers seeking a single-source supplier for end-to-end capacitance and energy storage needs.

Geographic/industrial fit With a footprint in Des Plaines, IL and historical manufacturing capabilities, pursue North American OEMs and contract manufacturers in electronics, energy management, and automotive sectors that require high-temperature, rugged capacitors and direct mount options for space-constrained designs.

Funding and scale Sales opportunities may be driven by a mid-sized revenue base (approximately $250M–$500M) and a diverse customer base; emphasize reliability, extended-temp performance, and long lifecycle availability to secure repeat business and larger tier accounts, while offering volume-based pricing and design-in support.
