    Silanna to Accelerate Future Technology Advances with Unification of Semiconductor and UV Businesses

    ­Silanna today announced the unification of its operating companies, Silanna Semiconductor and Silanna UV, under a single corporate identity: Silanna.

    The move brings together the company’s expertise in advanced semiconductor technologies and UV LED innovation under one brand, strengthening its ability to deliver performance and greater reliability to customers.
     
    The unified company will operate through three technology divisions: 
    • Factory-configurable Analog Digital Converters (ADCs), which guarantee long-term supply chain security and lower costs
    • Ultra-efficient laser drivers, which cut LiDAR and rangefinder power losses in half
    • UV LEDs, which enable chemical-free disinfection of water, air and surfaces
    Silanna will retain its R&D facility in San Diego, CA, and its epitaxy and fabrication manufacturing facility in Brisbane, Australia. 
     
    Products will be supported and made available through worldwide sales and operations teams, existing manufacturers representatives, and Silanna’s international distribution partners, with silanna.com serving as the company’s unified global website.
     
    By combining resources and technical expertise across these divisions, Silanna seeks to accelerate the innovation of new analog technologies and advanced UV. The unified structure enables customers and partners across more territories to engage with a single organization for all its technology platforms.
     
    “Silanna has always focused on solving complex engineering challenges through deep expertise. Bringing our semiconductor and UV technologies together under one brand will strengthen how we deliver for customers,” said Rob Lobban, Managing Director of Silanna. 
     
    “From performance and supply confidence to the technical support needed to move quickly from development to application, it’s an important step in shaping the future technologies being forged at Silanna.”
     
    The transition reflects Silanna’s long-term strategy of turning breakthroughs in materials science and semiconductor engineering into scalable, real-world technologies for industrial and commercial markets.
