We are excited to announce the acquisition of Gateway Electronic Components Ltd.
Gateway is a specialist distributor with expertise in ferrites and magnetic components and solutions. The company also has a range of own brand machined ferrite products.
Based in Nantwich in Cheshire, Gateway has a very talented and experienced team who will add specialist industry knowledge and expertise to the Solid State group. Gateway has a long-standing customer base with an engineering and technology led approach, consistent with Solid State’s model.
John Macmichael, Managing Director of Solsta, said: “Gateway broadens our product line within sectors that are already core to our footprint, whilst giving Solid State an additional aligned client base for its existing product range. The drive to increase our offering of own-brand products is further enhanced through the addition of the machined ferrite range of products.
We welcome our new colleagues from Gateway to the Solid State Group. The cultural fit has always been a very important element of our M&A strategy, so it is pleasing to join forces with a like-minded team.”
Martin Ford, founder and Managing Director of Gateway, commented: “We’ve built an excellent business in Gateway which fits very neatly into the culture of Solid State. Their drive to innovate gives me confidence that our technology will be more widely built into customer solutions. As founder of Gateway, I am pleased for our loyal staff that the next phase of growth for the business will be under the capable stewardship of Solid State.”
