Renaldo/Business

Headquartered in a Central LA technology park, MXC is a young engineering and design firm presently focused on electrical storage, transmission, and generation. Their flagship product is the CAu₁ battery, a low-voltage, ultra-high density rechargeable cell that's starting to appear in consumer electronics and is slated for approval in medical devices. Due to the founder's reluctance to accept new capital investments, they lack their own fabrication facilities, so most production work is done by contractors (with contracts exclusively awarded to Union shops). MXC's primary output is technical designs, patents and licensing thereof, and consultancy. They have built large-scale mechanical and thermoelectric storage solutions for solar and wind powerplants across the Southwest, provided power plant expertise to electrical vehicle manufacturers, and have recently released a photovoltaic fabric -- Solar Sailcloth. CAu₂ is reportedly under development.

El Jefe is very wary of the risk of espionage, and has implemented legal, technical, and social countermeasures against such. Employees are not only discouraged from working off-premises and outside business hours (the rare 'crunch' notwithstanding),they are expressly and technologically prevented from taking any equipment, documentation, or materials that would enable them to do so, with NDAed secretarial staff cleaning whiteboards and locking away loose documents at the end of every day before janitorial staff arrives. A knock-on effect of these policies is generally good morale and a prideful corporate culture that is characterized by their office park neighbors as 'smug secrecy'.
