IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Griffin, an Incipio® Group brand and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics for over 25 years, today unveiled a range of USB-C wall chargers equipped with Power Delivery (PD) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) technologies to deliver maximum fast charging power in an ultra-compact design. Engineered to provide a faster and safer charging experience in a smaller-sized package, Griffin's latest additions to the PowerBlock™ lineup includes three high-speed wall chargers powerful enough to charge most USB-C compatible smartphones, tablets and laptops.
"PD and GaN technologies deliver meaningful improvements in power adapter size, charging speed and safety," said Brian Stech, CEO of Incipio® Group. "As a brand with nearly 28 years of experience delivering dependable and iconic solutions to better serve mobile users worldwide, we are thrilled to introduce a range of purpose-built charging solutions with industry-leading technology to further improve our customer's everyday lives."
