ETREMA Products, Inc. (EPI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Edge Technologies, Inc., is the sole U.S. supplier of Terfenol-D - fully transferred from Ames Laboratory to ETREMA Products, Inc., granting EPI the technique to start small-scale production of the material.

Now, EPI is a high-tech Iowa corporation engaged in the development and commercialization of the "Smart Material", Terfenol-D. A variety of new companies have been formed to pursue processes developed by ETREMA Products. ETREMA has created three key business areas. They are Terfenol-D material sales, manufacture of devices powered by Terfenol-D and engineering services to assist customers in the development of new products based on ETREMA Terfenol-D®.
