Active Silicon Expands in the UK

Active Silicon has opened a new, state-of-the-art production and operations facility in Langley, England, where the company has relocated its assembly, testing, inspection, and supply chain functions.

All research and development, design, support, and head office responsibilities will remain at the flagship office in Iver, just a couple of miles up the road.

The move gives Active Silicon more space to increase product throughput and recruit more staff at both company locations. The company has made several new appointments over the past two months, including an FPGA engineer, stores controller, test technician, and human resources manager. Additionally, there is ongoing recruitment for a number of roles, including software and hardware engineers and a business development manager.

The new facility is located close to major highways, within sight of the mainline train to London, and less than 10 miles from Heathrow Airport. Active Silicon is a manufacturer of imaging products and embedded vision systems.
