Maeden Innovation Co., Ltd.[a] is a Taiwanese company that develops, manufactures, and sells dynamic conductors. Founded in 1981, Maeden produces tinsel wire and conductor solutions for automotive, medical, and multimedia applications. The company operates manufacturing facilities in Taiwan, China, and Vietnam.

History

[edit]

Maeden was founded in 1981 and has since expanded its operations in dynamic conductor manufacturing.[1]

Overview

[edit]

Maeden produces dynamic conductors, including copper foil and brocade wires, used in automotive, medical, and multimedia applications.[2][3] The company uses automated cutting and soldering machinery to improve precision and reduce handling losses during installation.

The company developed an elastic conductor that maintains stable resistance under stretching and washing, suitable for smart textiles.[4][5][6][7] Maeden also produces stretchable trace modules for smart clothing and MRI coil designs.[8][9][10][11] These modules have been presented by Purdue University at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.[12][13]

Maeden holds a patent (US7966795B2)[14] for a cable assembly with fibrous insulating material, designed to improve durability and performance.[2] The company has also developed tinsel wire technologies for micro speakers and woofers.[15][16][17][3]

The company investigates the electrical resistance of metals, exploring the concept that uniform ion lattices in metals exhibit no electrical resistance due to the absence of scattering events.[18]

In May 2023, Advantage Partners Asia Fund and affiliated entities invested in Maeden to support its market expansion and enhance new technology development.[19]

Maeden collaborates with the Hybrid Body Lab at Cornell University to develop stretchable trace modules for the SkinLink prototyping toolkit, which features a braided design for increased flexibility.[20]
