About E2IP

The story of e2ip Technologies begins not as a startup, but as an evolution. Its foundational roots trace back to 1980, when the Graham brothers established GGI Solutions, building on a family legacy in screen printing that started in the early 1900s. For decades, the company honed its expertise in Human-Machine Interface (HMI) technologies, the control panels and switches that connect people to machines in industries like aerospace and medical. This wasn't a story of a single product, but a gradual build-up of capabilities through deep industry experience. The modern chapter begins with a series of strategic acquisitions, starting in 2016, which folded new technologies and expertise into the company, leading to its rebranding as e2ip in 2019. Under the leadership of CEO Eric Saint-Jacques, the company pivoted from being a custom solutions provider to productizing its innovations. This shift focused on creating 'smart surfaces'—turning structural materials into interactive, functional surfaces by embedding electronics directly into them. The major inflection point arrived in April 2023, when e2ip secured a $120 million Series B funding round. This significant investment was earmarked to scale its groundbreaking technologies, like In-Mold Electronics (IME), and expand its global footprint, signaling the company's transition from a quiet, family-rooted business to a major player on the global technology stage, with its sights set on a future IPO.
