TEK MICROSYSTEMS OPENS UK DESIGN/ENGINEERING CENTER
Chelmsford MA – August 31, 2006 – TEK Microsystems, Inc. of Chelmsford MA
today announced the formation of TEK Microsystems Limited, a subsidiary
design, engineering and support center in Malvern, United Kingdom.
Under the direction of Dr. Bill Smith and initially staffed by several former
QinetiQ RTES engineers, the Malvern center will focus on further development
of the VXS-based products and cores originally designed by QinetiQ and now
licensed to TEK Microsystems. The center will also provide customer support
services for TEK Microsystems’ customers throughout Europe.
“Our relationship with QinetiQ has spurred significant growth at Tekmicro”,
said Andrew Reddig, president and CEO/CTO of TEK Microsystems. “This is the
next step in our corporate evolution as we now take the leadership role of
developing world class VXS products based on the technologies that QinetiQ
has created. By integrating the development team in Malvern with our
engineering and operations groups and taking advantage of our existing
technology base, we will be able to offer customers an increasing range of
product options with improvements in FPGA technology, ruggedization and
higher levels of integration.”
Dr. Bill Smith, managing director of TEK Microsystems Limited, adds, “TEK
Microsystems Limited will continue the tradition of customer innovation and
commitment that we established under the QinetiQ banner. Tekmicro now
provides more VXS-based products than anyone in the embedded industry and we
look forward to maintaining that leadership role.”
TEK Microsystems Limited initially includes a staff of five senior engineers
all formerly of QinetiQ. Products in development include additional
system-on-chip technologies and VXS system development utilizing the latest
FPGA technologies. Combining QinetiQ’s FPGA boards and best-in-class FPGA
cores with TEK Microsystems’ switched fabric, I/O and systems expertise
provides developers with solutions which reduce the development time and
cost of complex real time embedded systems. The new subsidiary is located
at:
