Custom Interconnect has been awarded Manufacturing Site of the Year at the TechWorks Awards 2025. The recognition reflects the scale, maturity and technical capability of BP2, the UK’s most advanced Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) facility. It is also one of the only sites in Europe able to process devices from wafer through to power module, overmolded IC or high reliability SMT assembly.
For engineers, the significance is clear. BP2 is not simply an expanded production plant. It is a fully integrated advanced packaging ecosystem designed to close a long-standing gap in the UK semiconductor supply chain: the ability to process Si, SiC, GaN and advanced RF devices entirely onshore, at production scale, using modern automated manufacturing technology.
