The Czero team recently stood up the Quixik Machining and Fabrication, LLC., a company dedicated to making prototype components and systems for both Czero and external customers. We have been doing this type of work for a while now, but the increased shop area, new tools and additional skilled personnel give Czero far greater capability and capacity, and more importantly even better control over quality and timing. Please reach out if there is any machining or fabrication we can do for you!
Czero is excited to be a Connector in the America-Made Program. This Department of Energy funded program helps accelerate clean energy innovation.
