(Alliance News) - Filtronic PLC on Wednesday said it has secured a contract with unnamed existing customer in the European defence sector to provide a new wide-bandwith solution.
The Sedgefield, England-based maker of advanced micro electronics said the contract is scheduled for delivery in the 2027 financial year. It has an initial value of GBP400,000, but volume production is expected to follow.
The technology will be produced at the company's recently opened purpose-built microelectronics facility in Sedgefield.
Last week, Filtronic announced it was awarded a contract worth USD8.0 million, approximately GBP6.0 million, by an unnamed US company for its Amplifier technology, agreeing to complete the satellite communication contract next year.
Chief Executive Officer Nat Edington said: "This latest award from an existing major European defence customer demonstrates continued confidence in our technology and ability to deliver high-quality programmes.
"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".
Shares in Filtronic were up 1.0% at 194.00 pence each on Wednesday morning in London.
