New contract with major European defence prime

Filtronic plc (AIM: FTC), the designer and manufacturer of advanced RF solutions for the space, aerospace and defence, and telecoms infrastructure markets, has secured a new contract from an existing customer. This order extends the Company's engagement into an additional business unit of a major European defence prime. The contract, scheduled for delivery in FY2027, has an initial value of £0.4m, with expected volume production following in the future.

The contract is for the design, development and delivery of a new wide-bandwidth solution. The technology will be produced at Filtronic's newly opened secure, automated microelectronics facility in Sedgefield, which is purpose-built to enable efficient, high-volume manufacture of complex RF modules for mission-critical, next-generation defence applications.

Nat Edington, Chief Executive Officer, 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."
