GaN Systems Inc of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, which is a fabless provider of gallium nitride (GaN)-based power switching semiconductors for power conversion and control applications, has opened a new office in Reading, UK.
The firm reckons that its expansion of European operations will help it in continuing to impact key industries, such as manufacturing and automotive, where the need for clean-tech power conversion applications is continuing to grow.
“GaN Systems new office facility comes in response to a strong pull from our growing base of European customer partners,” says Geoff Haynes, UK-based VP business development. “The company has a strong focus on collaborating across the manufacturing value chains for global power electronics markets to accelerate the adoption and drive the cost of manufacture of GaN components. That can only be achieved through a strong local technical presence,” he adds.
In addition to sales offices, the new location will include technical support and seminar facilities.
