New orders and contract wins are coming thick and fast for Filtronic. The firm’s most recent contract has come in the form of an authorisation to proceed on an £11 million contract to supply high-performance active components for a major European defence programme.
The designer and manufacturer of advanced RF solutions has been awarded an initial £7 million authorisation to proceed from a major European defence prime for the next phase of a long-standing electronic sensor programme.
The ATP enables Filtronic to begin work immediately, with full purchase order conversion expected in Q1 2026. The two-year programme will be manufactured at the company’s new secure, automated microelectronics facility in Sedgefield.
The deal follows a string of new wins from aerospace and space companies this year. SpaceX is now one of Filtronic’s major partners.
“This latest win deepens our engagement with a key European defence customer and strengthens Filtronic’s position in the defence sector, a growing market for the Group,” said Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer.
“As we invest in capability and capacity, Filtronic is increasingly well positioned to support long-term demand for advanced RF solutions in the defence market.”
