The organisation is part of an international engineering group with multiple global sites. The US operation functions as a specialist manufacturing and engineering facility focused on the design, development and production of custom RF antenna feed systems and waveguide transmission components used within larger communications and antenna platforms.
The business operates with a lean engineering and manufacturing team, generating multi-million-dollar annual revenues. It specialises in highly engineered, low-volume RF products, taking projects from customer requirements through RF design and development to precision machining, assembly and RF performance testing.
