Only around 60 of these awards recognising innovation were awarded this year. Filtronic’s recent achievements centre on the design and manufacture of its market leading power amplifiers, which has led to growth within the new space sector including high altitude pseudo satellites (HAPS) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.


To celebrate winning the King’a Award, Filtronic welcomed His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of County Durham, Mrs Sue Snowdon, and her team into their manufacturing facility in Sedgefield on Friday 04/10/24.


The afternoon was filled with engaging activities, including tours of our production line, where guests had the chance to chat with Filtronic employees about our latest investments and innovations. Our commercial team showcased the Cerus Range of E-Band power amplifiers through product talks and live demos. The event was capped off with speeches from our CEO, Nat Edington, and His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant, who presented the King’s Award for Innovation.


The Filtronic team then got together for a relaxed autumn BBQ, enjoying good food and celebrating their recent accomplishments.
