Sondrel plc has been able to leverage its expertise and relationships with key suppliers in the manufacturing of silicon chips to secure a contract win with a Silicon Valley-based company. Sondrel was the only company able to meet the customer’s requirements to service a key part of the manufacturing supply chain whilst meeting extremely aggressive timescales.
Graham Curren, Sondrel’s Founder and CEO, said, “We have been investing to build up our design and supply service in the USA so that we can provide a complete, ‘one-stop shop’ for companies wanting a new custom chip. Our wide knowledge of the industry and flexible and responsible business practices meant that we were able to provide the required services on time and on budget with the confidence that the quality specifications would be met.
“The customer was so impressed that we are now in discussion about further works including a full turnkey project of product design and the complete chip manufacturing. This would be for a next generation chip for a medical application so quality and detailed record keeping is vital and we have considerable experience in this from our work with automotive products that have similar, very high standards.”
