Major European defence prime selects Filtronic

Filtronic plc (AIM: FTC), the designer and manufacturer of advanced RF solutions for the space, aerospace and defence, and telecoms infrastructure markets, announces that it has received an Authorisation to Proceed ("ATP") for approximately £7m, from a major European defence prime, for the supply of high-performance active components for the next phase of a long-standing electronic sensor programme for a defence project.

The ATP authorises Filtronic to commence work on the project, ahead of purchase order conversion in Q1 2026. The total value of the contract is expected to be £11m, for a two-year programme. Production will take place at Filtronic's new secure, automated microelectronics facility in Sedgefield, supporting efficient, high-volume manufacture of complex RF modules for mission-critical defence applications.

Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer, said: "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. 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."
