Our Company Interlink Electronics, Inc. (“Interlink,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is a leading global provider of advanced sensing technologies and printed electronics solutions that enable Human-Machine Interface (“HMI”) devices and Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) applications. Our broad product and technology portfolio spans force and touch sensors, piezoelectric sensors, rugged HMI sensors, wearable and textile-based sensors and electrochemical gas and environmental sensors, along with instruments and fully integrated systems based on our sensor technologies. We serve global blue-chip customers and innovative emerging companies across diverse end-use markets, including medical, industrial, automotive, consumer electronics, wearables, environmental monitoring, and specialty applications. Our technical and engineering expertise in materials science, printed electronics manufacturing, embedded electronics, and related firmware, software, and system integration allows us to deliver high-performance, cost-effective standard and custom solutions tailored to our customers’ unique requirements. Force/Touch Sensors . We design, develop, manufacture, and sell a broad range of force-sensing and HMI technologies that incorporate proprietary materials, firmware, and software into scalable sensor components, subassemblies, modules, and fully integrated products. ● FSR® Technology and Force-Sensing Leadership . Interlink has been a leader in printed electronics for over 40 years. We invented and commercialized FSR® (Force-Sensing Resistor) technology, pioneering printed force-sensing solutions for rugged and reliable HMI applications. Our FSR® sensors consist of a proprietary resistive material layered between conductive electrodes, enabling force-dependent resistance changes. These sensors are extremely thin and lightweight, have no moving parts, operate reliably in harsh environments, resist moisture, dust, and contamination, and unlike capacitive sensors, measure applied force directly and are not prone to inadvertent activation. Our optimized manufacturing processes allow highly customized, high-margin solutions with strong design flexibility. We incorporate proprietary firmware and algorithms into our HMI solutions, enabling sophisticated input interpretation and advanced user experiences. Our solutions are used in gaming systems, smartphones, rugged notebooks, and automotive cockpit systems and entry applications. ● HMI Technology Platforms . Our HMI technology platforms are deployed across medical, industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics markets, supporting applications such as vehicle entry and cockpit controls, multimedia interface systems, rugged industrial touch controls, presence and collision detection, speed and torque control systems, pressure mapping, and biological monitoring. As the HMI market increasingly demands smaller form factors, lower power consumption, improved durability, and multi-modal input, we have advanced a hybrid and multi-sensing strategy that integrates force, capacitive, resistive, and piezoelectric technologies. Force-sensing introduces a deliberate activation modality that complements traditional capacitive systems, while our sensor fusion approach addresses performance gaps in conventional designs. Together, these solutions enable intuitive, multi-dimensional user input and “smart surfaces” that integrate sensing, feedback, and embedded intelligence, delivering enhanced durability, reliability, and environmental resistance compared to legacy mechanical or capacitive-only systems. We continue to expand our standard product portfolio and develop new technology platforms to capture emerging markets, particularly in IoT-enabled intelligent sensing systems. ● Printed Electronics and Membrane Keypads . Through our 2023 acquisition of Calman Technology Limited (“Calman”), we expanded our specialized printed electronics and membrane keypad capabilities. With over 25 years of HMI design and manufacturing expertise, Calman enhances our ability to deliver customized membrane keypads, graphic overlays, printed electronic circuits, and industrial labeling solutions. These products are used in industrial automation, instrumentation, process control, medical diagnostics, and defense applications. 5 Table of Contents ● Smart Textiles and Conductive Transfers .…
