Where MEI is headed

Methode makes busbars. Those flat copper strips that carry massive current from power distribution units into server racks, into EV battery packs, into industrial power systems. For a decade the company was known as a legacy auto parts supplier bleeding out as GM's internal combustion programs wound down. That story is finished, and something more interesting is starting. The Industrial segment, where power products for data centers live, is now growing into the vacuum left by the auto rolloff, and the company's own commentary has shifted from damage control to capacity expansion for hyperscale customers.
