Wootton Bassett May-2015 – There’s something of a metamorphosis going on at SWINDON Silicon Systems, the leader in high quality, high performance automotive and industrial mixed signal ASICs. Late last year, SWINDON was acquired, as part of the Schrader International Group, by Sensata Technologies. Sensata is a $2.4bn global business employing more than 17,000 people, headquartered in Almelo, The Netherlands, and one of the MEMS Industry Group’s top 30 companies.
The acquisition coincides with two other changes: a long planned move, driven by growth, to larger premises in Royal Wootton Bassett and the retirement of Managing Director Geoff Hall. The new Managing Director is Jerry Loraine who brings over twenty five years’ experience in the semiconductor industry, during which he has driven creative teams to deliver ICs and complete products into high volume emerging markets, such as Wi-Fi in portable equipment, low power global positioning and OTT wireless video.
