How it started
History
Founded in 1987 by Dr John Yelland, 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.
MILMEGA went onto design and manufacture high-power amplifiers for commercial and government applications.
MILMEGA was first sold in 1997 to Thermo Voltek an American company.
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.
