Microwave Techniques, a manufacturer of high-power microwave components and RF solutions, announced the successful closing of its acquisition of Symphony Microwave Technologies, a design and manufacturing group specializing in high-power components and systems for industrial, medical, military, scientific and commercial applications.
The acquisition creates an advanced manufacturer of high-power microwave technology and RF component solutions, with over 145 employees across facilities in Gorham, Maine, Nashua, N.H., and Hamburg, Germany. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“Bringing these organizations together is a strategic step that we believe aligns complementary strengths, improves resource optimization, and advances our collective ability to serve global industries with high[1]performance devices and equipment. Our combined organization seeks to integrate improved product quality, expanded technical capability for our customers, and best practices to enhance supply chain efficiency. We expect that the integrated portfolio not only expands our products and services, but also provides greater capabilities in RF design, thermal simulation, and microwave engineering at both a component and system level. These combined capabilities aim to expand operational capacity and strengthen our ability to meet demanding project requirements with greater speed and efficiency,” said Jim Detert, CEO at Microwave Techniques.
The combined entity will sustain uninterrupted manufacturing for its complete range of existing products, including circulators, isolators, windows, loads, couplers, generators, systems and more. “We also anticipate our unified engineering and R&D teams will accelerate the innovation of microwave technology even further. Now, we are well positioned to develop the next generation of devices and equipment, optimizing component and system performance, and continuing to drive the innovation customers in the industry have come to expect,” said Mark Fitzgerald, CEO at Symphony Microwave Technologies.
