[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nReach announcement*\n \n28 May 2025\n \nEnSilica plc\n(\"EnSilica\", the \"Company\" or the \"Group\")\n \nEnSilica Establishes New Engineering Hub in Cambridge\n \nEnSilica, a leading chip maker of mixed signal ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), is pleased to announce that it has established a new engineering hub in Cambridge, UK.\n \nDrawing on Cambridge's renowned semiconductor ecosystem, EnSilica has opened a new engineering facility in the city and has recruited six engineers, four of whom hold PhDs, thereby increasing the company's global workforce to 190.\n \nWith the addition of this new facility and technical expertise, EnSilica will expand its existing mmWave / RF integrated circuit design capabilities, an area in which the Company has already seen significant customer demand. The expansion has been facilitated by the recent UK Space Agency C-LEO funded award, alongside additional contract momentum and customer wins that continue to support the Company's growth.\n \nEnSilica currently operates across three UK engineering design centres in Abingdon, Sheffield and Bristol, alongside additional international engineering facilities in Bangalore, India, and Porto Alegre and Campinas in Brazil.\n \nIan Lankshear, Chief Executive Officer of EnSilica, commented:\n \n\"We are delighted to have not only secured a team of highly skilled engineers at a time when there is a very real shortage of engineering talent in the UK, but also to establish a firm base in an established UK tech hub like Cambridge which ideally positions the business to attract additional talent.\n \nBy further expanding our engineering knowhow across the satellite and communications market, I believe that this investment will enable the business to capitalise further on very real and near-term growth opportunities.\"\n \nFigure 1: EnSilica staff outside the new Cambridge facility\n \n\n \nContacts:\n \n\n\n\n\nEnSilica plc\nIan Lankshear, Chief Executive Officer \nKristoff Rademan, Chief Financial Officer \nwww.ensilica.com \n \n \n\n\nvia Vigo Consulting\n+44 (0)20 7390 0233 \n\n\n\n\nAllenby Capital Limited, Nominated Adviser & Joint Broker \nJeremy Porter / Vivek Bhardwaj (Corporate Finance) \nJoscelin Pinnington / Tony Quirk...
