John P. de Neufville puts Neah IP into play check the catalysts...in the patents.
Eutectix LLC alloys are used in a wide range of industries including electronics, electrochemistry, magnets, superalloys and printing. Eutectix LLC develops and sells engineered inorganic materials, rare earth alloys and custom engineered alloys such as nickel calcium, cobalt aluminum titanium, aluminum scandium. It produces ingots and powder. Founded in 2014, the Troy Michigan factory has the largest production capacity in the world for inert atmosphere grinding and alloying.
John P. de Neufville purchased the ChemOvonics Division from ECD in 1986 and founded Voltaix, Inc. a high purity specialty gas business which was sold to Air Liquide America in 2013. Subsequently, he purchased the assets formerly associated with the GM-ECD JV that produced the then novel nickel-metal hydride batteries for GM’s first all-electric car, the EV-1, creating a new company, Eutectix, LLC, based in Troy, MI and currently serving as Eutectix’ CEO and Chief Scientist. His early research interests focused on materials for batteries, optical memory devices, and solar cells, prepared by sputtering, chemical vapor deposition and plasma deposition. At Exxon, John was a member of the team that developed a concept of selective remote sensing of uranyl minerals using laser induced fluorescence. At Voltaix he played a key role in scaling the synthesis of various molecules used for the chemical vapor deposition of insulating, semiconducting and conducting films for advanced integrated circuit and photovoltaic applications. John P.de Neufville holds a PhD. in applied physics and materials science from Harvard University and an M.S. in geology from Harvard University and a B.S. in geology from Yale University.
You may be correct but I like the angle that he is on board for a totally different reason.
Dr. John de Neufville, the Eutectix CEO, said, “Following our successful negotiations with Great Western Minerals Group, I am pleased to announce the transfer of the excellent team and all the manufacturing equipment from Great Western Technologies into our new company, Eutectix LLC. Our factory in Troy, Michigan will continue to supply a wide range of customized products and services designed to meet the requirements of current and future customers.”
“It is our intention to build on the expertise with which our customers are already familiar, that of an innovative materials supplier, focused on the provision of fully characterized metals and alloys in various forms including castings, customized powder products and fabricated items. Alongside our extensive manufacturing facility we bring product development capability, offering new and exciting solutions to future customer requirements.”

About Eutectix
Eutectix LLC manufactures and processes metal alloys and battery electrodes at its facilities in Troy Michigan. Its custom alloys are used as additives for manufacturing high tolerance specialty alloys and for hydrogen storage, battery, and magnet applications. Current production has focused on hydrogen reactive metals, oxygen scavenging alloys and magnetic alloys.
Eutectix LLC was founded in 2014 by Dr. John de Neufville, Dr. Henry Lee, Thomas Smith, and Robert Russotti. All four founders of Eutectix worked together at Voltaix, Inc., a leading manufacturer of gases and chemicals for the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries.
De Neufville, Lee and Russotti were formerly employed by Energy Conversion Devices which was the original parent, via its Ovonic Battery Company subsidiary, of the Great Western Troy operations. They founded Voltaix in 1986. The Chief Executive Officer of Eutectix, John de Neufville, was formerly a Vice President and Director of Energy Conversion Devices, Inc., the Chief Executive Officer of the Ovonic Battery Company and the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Scientist of Voltaix, Inc.
