ScandiNova expands in RF power
Swedish power supply maker ScandiNova Systems has acquired Bristol-based Microwave Amps to expand in the RF market.
Microwave Amps is known for its RF amplifiers used in high energy physics, medtech, radar, and various industrial applications. This strategic move by ScandiNova aims to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its Radio Frequency (RF) offering to align with future goals.
The Microwave Amps products will be integrated as sub-components in ScandiNova’s existing RF systems, expanding the company’s product range and providing customers with a more comprehensive solution. Both companies target similar market segments, benefiting customers by offering a stronger combined portfolio.
The acquisition brings the company’s total employee count to over 200 and paves the way for further expansion. The ScandiNova group consists of ScandiNova, Scanditronix Magnet, and IECO, with its headquarters in Uppsala, Sweden,
“We are delighted to welcome Microwave Amps to the ScandiNova family. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our strategy of enhancing our position in integrated power systems for medtech, industry, and science customers,” said Niklas Edling, CEO of ScandiNova. “Microwave Amps’ expertise and products in RF amplifiers will significantly boost our offering in RF systems and contribute to our commitment to excellence.”
For over 30 years Microwave Amps has manufactured solid-state amplifiers for applications on land, air, at sea and in orbit with outputs of a few watts to tens of kW from VHF to X-band and beyond, all designed and manufactured at its Bristol facility in the UK.
“I am very pleased with this important development and proud to be a part of the ScandiNova group. This collaboration will strengthen our company’s future growth and open up exciting market opportunities,” said Neil Richardson, Managing Director at Microwave Amps.
