Dave Brown, TMD’s Managing Director said: ”G2 Engineering is respected within its specialist area of the microwave and RF industry and was well known to us because they supply to many of the same customers as we do. This acquisition will benefit all – and offer increased potential for new business opportunities.”

TMD’s product ranges are fully complementary with many radar, EW and comms systems requiring both TMD and G2 Engineering products – enabling TMD to offer an expanded, high value package to its customers, with all the advantages of more seamless integration and enhanced service.

TMD’s new acquisition company will initially trade as ‘G2 Engineering, a TMD Technologies Company’ and is scheduled to move into TMD’s premises in Hayes, West London in the next few weeks.
