QorTek was founded in 1998 as a developer and manufacturer of piezoelectronics and piezo actuation mechanisms. The company pioneered regenerative circuitry within power supplies enabling recycling of the high amount of return energy experienced on each cycle when driving capacitive or inductive loads – such as all piezoelectric devices. The concept of regenerative power drivers for piezoelectric mechanisms was enthusiastically adopted by the engineering community and became the foundation for the company’s success.
