ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Ignition products company Enerpulse Inc. announced this week that the company's proprietary Pulstar pulse plugs will be manufactured by the Autolite business of Honeywell Consumer Products Group (CPG), in its state-of-the-art facility.

According to Louis Camilli, president of Enerpulse, the Honeywell CPG Autolite plant in Mexicali, Mexico, was selected from a number of potential suppliers due to the company’s ability to produce the technologically advanced plug in high-volume while maintaining the company’s specifications.

“This was essential in the decision as we expand into the marketplace and further our engagement with automakers," Camilli said.

Enerpulse specializes in developing environmentally friendly ignition products through the application of pulse power technology. The Pulstar plugs generate up to 1 million watts of power, resulting in significantly more torque and lower emissions than other spark plugs on the market, according to the company. One of the leading cleantech venture capital firms in the U.S., SAIL Venture Partners, is a lead investor in the company.

"The Pulstar technology is relatively straightforward," explained Michael Hammons, a SAIL Partner. "The real value proposition is that it addresses two types of consumers -- eco-conscious consumers who want to lower their emissions and increase fuel efficiency, as well as car enthusiasts who want to achieve optimal performance. This manufacturing announcement with Honeywell signifies a key milestone in Enerpulse's growth as a company and the market's confidence in the Pulstar product line."

Manufacturing of the Pulstar pulse plugs is scheduled to begin in January 2011.
