Company profile
researched Aug 2026MetOx International develops high-temperature superconductor (HTS) wire under the Xeus brand. The company positions HTS conductors as an alternative to conventional copper conductors, which dissipate energy as heat, whereas superconductors carry high electrical current with near-zero resistive loss and therefore higher efficiency in power generation and delivery applications.
Xeus wire is described by the company as its proprietary HTS technology, offering power density and efficiency intended for fusion energy systems, high-field magnets and next-generation electrical grids. MetOx frames the wire as an enabling input for device makers and developers building equipment for energy generation, electrification and energy-intensive industries including hyperscale data centers and artificial intelligence workloads.
Business model
MetOx supplies Xeus HTS wire as a component to industry innovators, device makers and developers who incorporate advanced conductors into their own energy generation and electrification products.
Latest developments
MetOx reports that it is scaling to meet demand for HTS wire and is hiring across its team.

Market position
MetOx states that commercial development of advanced HTS devices depends on a reliable supply of affordable wire, and that it is scaling production capacity to meet that demand.
Technology
The core technology is Xeus, MetOx's proprietary high-temperature superconductor wire. Unlike copper conductors, which lose energy as heat, HTS wire conducts high electrical current with near-zero loss, delivering high power density and efficiency for applications such as fusion, high-field magnets and grid infrastructure.
Go-to-market
The company markets Xeus wire directly to application developers and device manufacturers, inviting prospective customers to engage on specific HTS use cases.
Device makers, developers and industry innovators building HTS-based equipment, with end applications in fusion energy, high-field magnets, next-generation power grids, and energy-intensive sectors such as hyperscale data centers and AI.
