UK microwave expertise on show in San Francisco

Labtech will be showcasing a range of new products and services at the MTT-S Show in San Francisco from 13th to 15th June 2006

The UK-based company, which has centres of manufacturing excellence in Presteigne and Milton Keynes, recognises the show as key to its development of the North American export market. Sales and Marketing Director Bob Lowther, who will be attending the show with the company's North America Sales Manager Mark Gullotti, revealed that Labtech had seen a 50% growth in business in North America in the past year.
The company plans to further develop the market following the recent launch of a new range of 2-18GHz broadband microwave amplifiers, detector log video amplifers (DLVAs), 2-18GHz gain modules and a focused turnkey microwave MIC assembly service for customers worldwide who are looking for outsourcing solutions.

Labtech can offer a comprehensive build-to-print microwave module and component manufacturing service, including design support, fully automatic chip placement and wire bonding, thin film circuit manufacturing, box build assembly, microwave printed circuit board manufacture, RF machining and microwave alignment and test up to 40GHz.

The MTT-S Show is one of only two major exhibitions that Labtech is attending this year - the other is the European Microwave Show in Manchester, UK, in September.

Lowther says both trade shows are important to help the company to further penetrate the North American and Eastern European markets and continue to support existing customer relationships with its products and services.

'Labtech's area of expertise lies in four key areas of activity - microwave and high-rel printed circuit boards, broadband microwave components, MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuits) packaging solutions and microwave MIC assembly - and many of our customers utilise either one or all of our services, which can be bundled into our unique turnkey offering', he explains
