Filtronic, the UK leader in high performance RF and mmWave technologies, is responding to growing demand by installing two new production lines at its NETPark facility in Sedgefield.
The introduction of these additional production lines — each equipped with dual head capability — will increase productivity by 50-75 per cent, marking a significant boost in capacity as the company continues to grow, driven by a series of major contract wins with global industry leaders.
The new production lines will operate in a state-of-the-art Class 7 cleanroom environment, defined under ISO 14644-1 as a controlled environment. It will also be fully operational with 24/7 staffing, adding 12 skilled employees to the team.
This increased capacity is crucial as Filtronic continues to secure significant contracts, including recent high-profile partnerships with leading global innovators SpaceX — and other key players in aerospace and defence.
