Strong UK capabilities and presence

Rochester Electronics holds a unique position among semiconductor manufacturers, not by driving new technologies, but by sustaining existing ones.

Through close collaboration with supplier partners and customers, the company ensures continued production of fully licensed and tested semiconductor products that would otherwise become obsolete in the market. This commitment supports long-term program stability in industries where product lifecycle continuity is critical.
