History

Founded in 1987, MILMEGA designs and manufactures high-power amplifiers for commercial and government applications. MILMEGA's first design was a contract to deliver a narrow-band amplifier to meet the requirements of a medical product used in the treatment of prostate cancer. In 2004, the company was acquired by its management team in a management buyout (MBO) in part financed by venture capital funding from South East Growth Fund. Since the MBO the company has invested in the field of wide bandgap transistor technologies, specifically, silicon carbide transistor (SiC) and gallium nitride transistor (GaN) technologies. In 2010, the company centralized its operations at the current factory at Ryde, on the Isle of Wight, and in the same year, launched its Chinese language website. In February 2012, MILMEGA was purchased by Teseq Holding AG.. In April 2012, MILMEGA received the
