QTREX Quantum Ltd., a company focused on advancing Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) for quantum computing infrastructure, announced that one of Israel's three largest defense companies and one of the world's leading aerospace and defense organizations has begun deploying QTREX's AME technology for a joint development program focused on strategic systems operating at the physical limits of precision and performance. The first QTREX AME system is now being installed at the partner's facilities. The agreement includes exclusivity provisions that underscore the strategic importance the partner places on QTREX's technology. It also outlines a potential phased commercial pathway toward broader AME system rollouts, with aggregate revenue for QTREX in the tens of millions of dollars. The partner's identity is not being disclosed at this stage pursuant to contractual confidentiality obligations.
The joint program is designed to adapt QTREX’s proprietary AME platform to meet the partner’s demanding engineering, performance and reliability requirements. The program establishes a defined collaboration framework encompassing customized R&D, advanced materials and process optimization, with the objective of producing next-generation AME systems built to the partner’s specifications. The initial commercial pathway begins with the immediate system deployment and associated recurring consumables revenue. Subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements between the parties, subsequent phases are structured around the procurement of tailored AME systems, representing a direct and scalable revenue opportunity for QTREX.
The partner is a globally active aerospace and defense organization that develops and deploys mission-critical systems across air, space, sea, land and cyber domains for government and military customers worldwide. Its capabilities span the full lifecycle from research and engineering through integration, qualification, manufacturing and operational deployment, and it has an order backlog measured in the tens of billions of dollars. The organization has also made substantial investments in quantum technologies for defense and civilian applications.
“This program places QTREX inside one of the most advanced aerospace and defense technology environments in the world,” said Dagi Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of QTREX. “Our partner is a global defense technology leader whose innovation is closely watched across the industry. By deploying and tailoring our AME systems to its specific requirements, we believe this program can become a powerful reference point for QTREX and open the door to additional agreements with leading defense, aerospace and quantum customers worldwide.”
