Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• GPV Group A/ScoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 15 December 2025Strategic partnership announced December 15, 2025 aimed at strengthening customer service and enhancing manufacturing flexibility across the United States and Mexico. The collaboration supports evolving customer requirements related to US domestic production, changing tariff environments, and compliance with BABA and USMCA regulations. GPV, Europe's second-largest EMS company headquartered in Denmark, will support EWME in serving US-based industrial customers through cost-effective, high-volume production in low-cost regions. EWME will assist GPV in meeting obligations for US domestic manufacturing programs including Buy America and Build America (BABA) requirements. Each company remains the primary customer interface within its own markets while subcontracting manufacturing to the other when it adds value.
• SISUcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 31 March 2020Partnership with SISU, a robotics engineering firm based in Austin, Texas, to build AIR BOOST's Austin P51 emergency hospital ventilator during the COVID-19 pandemic. SISU conceived and designed the ventilator while East/West manufactured the printed circuit boards. East/West completed the first set of ventilator boards within days of receiving parts, demonstrating quick-turn capabilities. The partnership supported a low-cost ventilator ($1,500 per unit vs. typical $25,000-$50,000 ICU ventilators) seeking FDA Emergency Use Authorization.
