Zarlink Semiconductor wins
Welsh Business Development
award

Zarlink Semiconductor has announced that its Microelectronics division has won the ‘Fit To Win’ business development award as part of the Welsh Development Agency’s Source Wales program.

Source Wales helps local businesses build supplier networks and develop the skills and expertise necessary to work with local and global manufacturers. Zarlink’s Microelectronics division, located in Caldicot, South Wales, received the ‘Fit To Win’ award for promoting its SiP (System-in-Package) technology and foundry expertise.

“The Welsh Development Agency partners with local companies to help them identify opportunities, win more business, and operate more competitively,” said Anthony Pritchard, business development manager, Welsh Development Agency. “The Fit To Win award recognizes that Zarlink’s Microelectronics staff is working hard to ensure they’re in a position to win business by truly understanding both the technology and business requirements of new and potential customers.”

“Along with providing leading technology, developing a commercially minded staff is key for success in the telecommunications industry,” said Martin McHugh, business development manager, Zarlink Microelectronics. “The Source Wales program has helped ensure our engineering staff always considers the supply, delivery and support needs of our customers.”

Zarlink’s SiP technology is a miniature circuit board that mimics the appearance of silicon, but offers reduced design time, lower development costs and smaller package size for manufacturers. Engineers at Zarlink’s Caldicot facility are also working on unique in-body antenna designs for Body Area Networks as part of the European Union’s Healthy Aims Program.
