Filtronic has landed a fresh contract with a major European defense prime, extending its relationship with the customer into an entirely new business unit.
The initial contract is worth £0.4 million and is scheduled for delivery in FY2027, covering the design, development, and supply of a new wide-bandwidth solution.
Filtronic said the deal is a sign that confidence in the company’s RF technology is growing within some of Europe’s largest defense organisations.
While the headline contract value is modest, there are signs of potential follow-on business from the deal.
The work will be produced at Filtronic’s newly opened facility in Sedgefield, a purpose-built, secure and automated microelectronics site designed specifically for high-volume manufacture of complex RF modules for demanding defense applications.
“This latest award from an existing major European defence customer demonstrates continued confidence in our technology and ability to deliver high-quality programmes,” said Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer.
“The Company is increasingly well positioned to address long-term demand for complex, high-performance wideband solutions, reinforcing Filtronic’s strategic position in the expanding defence sector.”
Filtronic recently announced an $8 m deal with a US firm for its Amplifier technology as the flow of new orders continues.
