Since IR materials form a rapidly growing segment of the optoelectronics sector, IQE’s directors believe that the acquisition of Galaxy will open up major opportunities in global imaging markets. “Galaxy provides IQE with new manufacturing capacity, new products and significant new clients ,” comments IQE’s chief executive Dr Drew Nelson. The acquisition forms part of the IQE’s strategy to be a global supplier of advanced optoelectronic materials, as well as adding additional intellectual property. The firm also reckons that Galaxy positions IQE as a leading provider in the rapidly growing market for antimony-based IR substrates, with diverse applications in advanced imaging for both commercial and military applications. Consistent with its multi-site manufacturing strategy, IQE will be able to provide IR materials from independent manufacturing facilities at Spokane and Milton Keynes. Galaxy’s management and key technical personnel are being retained. IQE says that the strategic acquisition complements its existing IR capabilities at its substrate manufacturing division Wafer Technology Ltd of Milton Keynes, UK, enables multi-site manufacturing, provides access to the large US market, and creates significant technology benefits. IQE also expects to place (on 5 October) 65 million new ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market at 32p each to raise £20.8m (gross) in order to: fund the acquisition, selectively expand IQE’s existing manufacturing capacity, repay about £10m of debt, and strengthen its balance sheet to position the group for accelerating future growth.įounded in 1999, Galaxy's key products are indium antimonide (InSb) and gallium antimonide (GaSb) substrates, for use in applications including thermal imaging cameras, forward-looking IR for navigation through darkness, IR homing missile guidance, detection of heat sources, magneto-resistance, biomedical imaging, and ultra-high-speed electronic circuits.
