About Teledyne e2v and the Space Imaging Centre of Excellence
Teledyne e2v is a global leader in specialised components, subsystems,
manufacturing and engineering services, and an engineering consultancy for
innovative solutions in medical, science, aerospace, defence and
industrial applications.
Teledyne e2v has an enviable heritage, with origins dating back to the
1930's. We have grown from the English Electric Company, later English
Electric Valve, Marconi-Osram Valve and GEC. Today, we are part of the
Teledyne Imaging Group within Teledyne Technologies Inc., a circa $3Bn
NYSE conglomerate made up of over 60 companies.
As Teledyne's largest European subsidiary, we employ more than 800 people
in Chelmsford, Essex, UK (known as the birthplace of radio) with a large
base of scientists, engineers and skilled operators. Teledyne e2v also has
facilities in Lincoln, France, Sweden and Spain and sales offices in Asia
and the USA.
Resembling a technology hub in Essex, the wholly owned and secure 82,000
square metre Chelmsford site is ideally located, just 35 minutes from
central London, has easy access to the M25, and is the home to a number of
market and technology leading design, development and manufacturing
operations including space imaging sensors, RF power devices and quantum
technologies.
At Teledyne e2v in the UK, we industrialise customer mission critical
technology to the highest possible standards of performance and
dependability. In so doing, we are developing new sensing and
instrumentation products, engineered sub-systems and providing access to
SMEs and Blue Chips, to our people, facilities, manufacturing, engineering
and assurance facilities, on a bespoke and shared services basis, in a way
that creates value for all as well as long-term partnerships.
We are committed to growing our business, have, and continue to invest
heavily in the UK in people, capital equipment, facilities and technology.
'Difficult to engineer and make' is an ethos that has developed unique
resources and capabilities for us, which have led to decades of
market-leading positions in vacuum electronics, energetics, radio
frequency power generation, imaging, photon science and recently, quantum
technology; of which we are at the forefront in the UK.
We empower the market leader in marine radars with our magnetrons; our
thyratrons and magnetrons enjoy an installed base in over 90% of the
world's radiotherapy machines (LINACs) and we are a key supplier of
travelling wave tubes and energetics for defence applications.
Teledyne e2v's visible CCD imging sensors have helped the Hubble Space
Telescope to make more than 1.3 million observations so far, becoming one
of the most productive scientific instruments ever built.
The recent pictures of Ultima Thule where captured using our CCD imaging
sensors which survived 14 years in space, aboard the New Horizons
spacecraft, with all of its harsh radiation and vacuum, and worked
perfectly 6 billion miles away - the world's most distant export.
Our CCD technology, that leverages our Class 100 space qualified clean
rooms, and increasingly CMOS technology, continue to enable the missions
of ESA, NASA, JAXA and ISRO as well as programmes for ESO in the astronomy
market.
We are key suppliers to major scientific instrument providers and there is
a new, rapidly growing, market for space that is refered to as 'new space'
i.e. commercialisation of space technologies for mass adoption.
In essence, we at Teledyne e2v excel in anticipating and understanding
customer challenges and are excellent at collaborating, we transform
intellectual properties into capabilities and industrialise high-end
technical solutions. We do these things as a trusted partner, which
ensures mission and project success, not just in space and science
markets, but does so, and can do so in any market, including the growing
UK space programme, which we are committed to helping succeed.

Important information Structured one-to-one meet the buyer meetings for
regional and national SME's
We hope to engage with specialist UK based suppliers who feel they have
product, service and supply capabilities suited to silicon-based devices
for operation in space, scientific and harsh environments. These
structured 15-minute meetings will be aimed at opening new supply chain
dialogue with Teledyne e2v.
Example topics and capabilities Aluminium Nitride (AlN) material
capability, high-performance flexi-connector and termination or Silicon
Carbide (SiC) wafers. As part of the registration process, you will be
asked to propose the meeting subject.
Whilst we understand there is a wide supply chain requirement for Teledyne
e2v and opportunities for the full range of SME's in the UK, this event is
focused on key enabling space supply chain technologies. We encourage any
SME working within these fields or directly adjacent technologies to
attend this SME Forum event. Any meeting topics proposed that we feel do
not meet this requirement, may not be accepted, especially if demand is
high for the event.
Meet space business development, technology experts, scientists and
engineers
Teledyne e2v's business development managers, chief engineers, technical
authorities, scientists and engineers are available to discuss key space
supply chain enabling capabilities. This is an opportunity for any SME
currently engaged in supplying space qualified or up-screened components
and sub-systems for space environments or those who have identified an
opportunity to diversify their offering and capabilities into the space
market but would benefit from advice, consultancy or even a partnership to
bring your offering to the UK Space and export market.
Regardless of space market-related opportunity or idea, as part of these
sessions, that will be organised as one-to-one meetings in advance, our
team will also be able to discuss ideas on how we may be able to
collaborate with organisations to increase value and de-risk projects and
ideas.
Alongside these sessions, it is also possible to have meetings and
discussions with members of the Quantum Technologies team at the
Chelmsford facility and meet representatives from the Teledyne Defence and
Space group from the RF and microwave solutions in Shipley facility.
Keynote speeches (UKspace, Innovate UK & SPRINT) / learn about funding
opportunities
The partners for this SME Forum event will be delivering a few short
insights on the UK Space market and export opportunities along with
information on potential funding opportunities for UK SMEs working in or
wishing to enter the space market. Alongside these introductions
representatives from UKspace, Innovate UK, SPRINT and Catapult Satellite
Applications will be on hand to meet with on a group basis or private
one-to-one meetings to offer advice and information.
Networking coffee and buffet sessions
Teledyne e2v will be providing refreshments throughout the day and a
buffet style lunch to allow SME's to network with other SMEs, the event
partners and Teledyne e2v staff, from across the business. If you are not
attending a keynote speech or a one-to-one meeting at any point throughout
the event we encourage you to network informally over a coffee or lunch
for as long as you like using Teledyne e2v's facilities.
Factory Tour
No visit to a technology company would be complete without a tour of the
facility. Teledyne e2v staff will be taking small groups on a guided tour
of the facility highlighting capabilities and also opportunities for SME’s
to work with us, use our facilities or even consider joining us at the
Chelmsford facility.
Key aspects of the tour will be the Class 100 clean rooms (unfortunately
it is not possible to enter the clean rooms, but we have large viewing
areas), get up and close to the space image sensors that observe the Earth
and visit distant planets, as well as our quantum technologies development
facility which are working on the industrialisation of gravity sensing,
precision timing and cold atom generators for space applications.
The tour will also pass through the magnetron and thyratron vacuum
technology production plant and around the wider site to give an
appreciation of the size and heritage of the company.
